If you went along, say, the border of the Holy Roman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18th century, you wouldn't find that one language/ethnicity stopped precisely at the border and another one began. You'd have a mix of German villages and Polish villages, with few of one population living in the other, in a broad area to either side of the border. Even further in one country or the other, you'd still find random isolated villages that spoke a different language than the surrounding countryside. Same here. Saltmarsh is seen by all as human village, so humans live in it, and few others would move there. Basically - local tribalism.</p></blockquote><p></p>
