It's tattooed into the "Keep on the African Savannah" adventure. It's tattooed into the fact that Elephavania and Giraffistan are next to each other on the map that came in the DMG. It's tattooed in the Elephantbane Blade whose lore specifies that it lies in the disputed territory on the border. Honestly, look at any thread complaining about 4e lore or Planescape lore. Look at the post above where Hussar said it was a PITA to say no all the time. It is a thing that happens all the time. (personally, I don't think it's a fluff/crunch distinction, I think it is an opt-in/opt-out distinction. The Blood War was default in 2e. You could opt out if you thought it was dumb, but you had to KEEP opting out, and keep telling new players you were opting out. 5e jackalweres currently risk doing that).And my point is that all lore is specific (including "default" lore that wants to be applicable to many tables) so why not state that up-front? <img src="http://www.gssmedia.com/wp-content/plugins/RSSPoster_PRO/cache/b6f3f_Cool-Story-Bro.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Nah, like I said above, you can just pick one and go with it, a different one for any given monster, eating up no more space than a typical MM entry and keeping the MM diverse and specific. No need to anticipate new settings or be exhaustive.</blockquote>
