As I said, I think they are _not_ affected. However...

Yep, I don't think being a sea creature necessarily helps. Also, I think the sea monsters which are drawn to ships without the Opening ceremony are _forced_ there by the power of the Closing. They have no interest in enforcing the Closing. Rather to the contrary, the Closing stopped shipping dead and thus deprived the sea dwellers of nice and crunchy food.

Both these are outside the Inner World, into heroquestland, so they probably follow other laws. As for the Sendereven, if they can sail on Sramak's River, maybe they had magic that could defy the Closing too?
