Species enclave

A species enclave is a settlement (a village, town, etc.) whose inhabitants are mostly or entirely of the same species or 'shape'. These exist to prevent cross-species breeding (which is possible in Noih) that can cause severe birth defects on offspring or a gradual disappearance of a species. Taulsol mentions an Ardub enclave, and Tornoth with Shyni are from one as well. It's highly probable that the village Sulie is from is also a species enclave due to its inhabitants' hostility to outsiders.

It's unknown how the laws in enclaves regard outsiders, and they probably differ wildly between each settlement.
