the monsters were ready there before the dragon. only a few werent until after. the cockatrice for instance, was dormant until Salvation brought them out of it. all the monsters that escaped from the everfall, my theory, is that they were regular creatures. harpies, wolves and such, but the high concentration of magic corrupted them, most likely Ur-dragons fault, ir maybe its the proximity to the rift leading to the seneschel's place. either way, over the countless centuries down there have evolved into what they are after gran soren collapses. all the undead? fallen arisen and would be heroes snd investigators, it DID say that none but the arisen may enter it unhindered by its taint. all the monsters you face prepost game have and always will be there before and after the dragon, the ones in the everfall were released bc the existence of Grigori held back the tide. the Brine is the only prepost game monster that wasnt there until the dragon arrived. and what good would swimming do? the world is massive enought as it is, what with the ability to clamber on top of massive 4 story dragons, cyclops, ogres, griffons, cockatrice, hydras, climb other stuff like buildings, as well as other massive objects hell, the world itself, build characters,  manage items and equipment, sift through the annoying process  of finding a mage pawn with the right combo of skills you want him to have. no real need for swimming at all. the only reason i can see the edition of wadable water is to gather flask of water, fish, give some saurians an extra place to chill, find other little knicknacks, drench yourself when lit up like a christmas tree, put hellhound out and open enemies weak to lightning up to be even weaker than before.
