Those that did not escape became Azers.•    Grigwartha led a coven of witches that created the boneclaws.•    Cambions are half human/ half devil.•    Cyclopes are the willing servants of fomorians in the Feywild. They sometimes aid drow due to some ancient agreement between fomorians and drow called the “Declaration of Eschatos”.•    Dark Ones serve and live among Shadar Kai.•    Deathknights originate with Orcus.•    Demons are born of the Abyss and care only for destruction.•    The Abyss was formed when an unknown god tried to use a shard of pure evil to take over the entire universe. It drove him mad and he planted the shard in the depths of the Elemental Chaos. There it grew into the Abyss. (MM pg. 51)•    Baphomet (aka, the Horned King), Demogorgon, and Orcus were primordials corrupted by the Abyss.•    The mad god was defeated by the other gods and imprisoned him in a secret place. He became known as the Chained God or the Elder Elemental Eye.•    Ruled by Asmodeus, devils come from the Nine Hells and work to collect souls. They often serve evil gods.•    The Nine Hells exist within the Astral Sea as a blasted fiery world choked by black smoke. The different layers of hell can be reached by delving deeper into the world. (MM pg. 61)•    Red dragons have an ancient pact with Githyanki.•    Bahamut and Tiamat were formed when the dragon god, Io, was split in half by Erek-Hus, King of Terror. The two halves of Io became Bahamut and Tiamat and killed the King.•    Dragonspawn were created by cults loyal to Tiamat.•    Drow followed Llolth into the under ground. Females are dominant. They live in the underdark and raid the surface for needed supplies.•    Dwarves are native to fortress cities in the mountains.•    The City of Brass, in the Elemental Chaos, is home to the efreets.•    Eladrin are sometimes reffered to as High elves, sun elves, moon elves or star elves.•    Dorsain, the King of Ghouls, is an exarch of Orcus.•    Giants were created by the primordials. •    The githyanki and the githzerai were once a single race—the gith—enslaved by mind flayers, but they split into two races after winning their freedom. Whereas the githzerai fled to the Elemental Chaos and became introspective and monastic, the githyanki fled to the Astral Sea and became xenophobic and militaristic.•    Githyanki live on the remains of dead gods.•    Tu’narath is the largest githyanki city. It is built atop the body of a dead god adrift in the Astral Sea and ruled by Vlaakith, the githyanki lich queen, who has ruled supreme for over a thousand years. The githyanki revere the lich-queen as the stepmother of their race. To them, her word is truth. She has the reputation for slaying any who challenge her policy or power, devouring their life essences.•    Zerthadlun, an austere walled settlement with many open fields and markets, is the greatest and most widely known githzerai city—an oasis of calm in the otherwise tumultuous Elemental Chaos.•    Gnolls worship the demon lord, Yeenoghu (aka, the Beast of Butchery or Ruler of Ruin), and often work with demons.•    Gnomes live in homes burrowed beneath the roots of trees.•    Goblins, especially hobgoblins, worship bane.•    Bane has two exarchs named Maglubiyet, the Battle Lord, and Hruggek, the Master of Ambush, both of which are goblins.•    Hobgoblins once had an empire in which bugbears and goblins were their servants. This empire fell to internal strife and interference from otherworldly forces—perhaps the fey, whom many goblins hate.•    Given their brutal magical traditions, hobgoblins might have created their cousins in ancient times: Bugbears served as elite warriors, and goblins worked as scouts and infiltrators. The disintegration of hobgoblin power led to widespread and diverse sorts of goblin tribes. •    The first hydras sprang from the spilled blood of Bryakus, a terrible primordial who battled the gods in ancient times.•    Kyuss is an elder evil being, but nothing else is known.•    Mind Flayers came to the world from the Far Realm.•    According to some legends, rakshasas were spawned by demons that fled the Abyss and came to the natural world long ago.•    Shadar-Kai inhabit the Shadowfell and worship the Raven Queen.•    Vumerion was a legendary necromancer that had a tower called the Black Tower of Vumerion. This was the origins of the first Skull Lords.•    Warfgorged are created in Creation Forges.•    Yuan-ti worship Zehir, and have human followers.</blockquote>
