[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 8436626, member: 23"] Another element of answer - one that is very 5e: Large number of humans are scary as heck. A hundred archers will murderize most monsters with ease. So it is conceivable that a [I]portion[/I] of the wilderness has been cleared by humans for agricultural use. Who cleared it? Maybe by those archer levies. Maybe there is an empire with legions. Witchhunters, monster slayers, adventurers. In some cases perhaps there are alliances, or compromises, between monsters and humans. There IS a troll under the bridge, and you better pay the toll - that's his job. In Warhammer you can hire ogre mercenaries. Feys fed with offering of milk and cookies by peasants, keeping other monsters at bays. Goblins given free reign of the sewers who naturally defend them from other monsters. A dragon, who demands a yearly tribute but defends the valley. A vampire who has a blood tax. [/QUOTE]
