## Scope and consumers
|

|

Only individually identifiable NPC names with transcript evidence belong in
|

this artifact. Groups, generic roles, invented labels, and descriptive
|

enrichment are excluded. Its source references prove registry provenance; they
|

do not become evidence for a spell, occurrence, combat, or enemy-event

occurrence.

the NPC is not present, speaking, or acting in the cited passage. Names used

only in hypothetical, speculative, or imagined examples are excluded, as are

groups, generic roles, invented labels, and descriptive enrichment. Its source

references prove registry provenance; they do not become evidence for a spell,

Registry evidence establishes an identity, not an [NPC occurrence](dnd-npc-occurrence-artifacts.md).
