"Among other things" yes. But the powers of the river are clearly limited inside the swamp. The Ducks may be able to put a limit to the Swamp's expansion though.

I've no evidence, but I rather think that they would have been among the 'Beast Peoples' left behind after the Dragonkill War. ("Man Rune, nice Mr. Dragon? No, no-one with the Man Rune here.... Look, we're *much* too small to make a snack for you....")
And if they did flee I can see them being one of the first to risk sneaking back.
