	History in Fantasy... - sffworld.com
		For me personally, whenever I come across history in fantasy novels, it usually tends to bother me. Authors seem to use this as a tool to help their worlds feel more fleshed out and realistic, but in my opinion, it's really not much of a help.
		Now, when history is handled correctly, it is explained when it effects the characters or is necessary for you to better understand their heritage or motivations, but not just for the sake of "detail".
		History is good when what happened in the past has a bearing on how people behave today, and when it has influences of the events of today.
