* In ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', [[Space Elves|Eldar]] are a borderline example of [[The Precursors|a Precursor Race]], in which case their creators, the Old Ones, would be Recursive Precursors as well, alongside the [[Abusive Precursors|Necrontyr/Necrons]], and the [[Eldritch Abomination|C'tan Star Gods.]]
* [[Forgotten Realms]] elves dominated Faerun before they torn both continent and their civilizations apart in Crown Wars, which left them weakened and gradually displaced by human expansion, all the while Dwarven and Giant kingdoms still fought each other. But the Elves in turn took the world from Dragons' claws. That's where we switch from merely mythical era to the [[Time Abyss]] of [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Creator_race Creator Races] about whom little is known: Dragons [https://web.archive.org/web/20130531132751/http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/drrl/20071107a%2Fdrrl%2F20071107a fought giants] after knocking birdlike Aearee out of Toril's sky... Aearee in turn spread when [[Frogs and Toads|Batrachi]] got themselves extinct, before ''their'' time there were [[Lizard Folk|Sarrukh]] and [[Fair Folk|Fey]], and so on. And before that was "[http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15988&whichpage=24#385780 Time of the Rauth]"—prehistorical era when something was going on too, but ''what'' is completely lost by now.
* [[Eberron]] has a long history of being ruled by demons, then dragons, then giants, then goblinoids (in Khorvaire), then finally the common races. Some of them are still around to some extent, from the [[Neglectful Precursors|Dragons of Argonessen]] to the [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Demon Wastes]] to whatever is happening in [[Dug Too Deep|the depths of Khyber]].
* [[Traveller]] Gurps ''Alien Races 3'' discusses this as an optional alternative for lore about The Ancients. However the normal canon does not discuss this much.
