* It's a long story, but the story behind the githzerai and githyanki in ''[[Dungeons
* When it gets down to the basics, the entire galaxy-shattering civil war that brought the [[Warhammer
** Recent stuff reveals it was actually a Xanatos Gambit by [[Dark Messiah|Lorgar]] the first heretic who was a little off his rocker from the start that created the current situation.
* In ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'', Cyric's mother was a failed street performer and prostitute who was murdered by his most likely father after she tried to get him to acknowledge his child. His father then sold baby Cyric to a childless couple looking to adopt for financial reasons. He was ostracized for his background, escalating until his adoptive parents openly rejected him on this basis ([[Self-Made Orphan|and then he killed them]]). At first, a human and less blatantly evil Cyric tells this to (future) Mystra to explain why he thinks love is nonsense. Hints of its continued effects on him can be seen after he hits godhood, when he exalts his mother in the ''Cyrinishad'' as a "beautiful bard with a mind as quick as Oghma's."
