I only build what is currently necessary. It is not necessary to know the origin of the race I am playing to have fun with it. A lot of the time, less is more.
This. You might be tempted to have a whole cosmology and long history of your world, and honestly that's fine if you have the time and energy to write it all down and keep track. But if it's just for a campaign, usually it's better to have a bare bones idea of what the race's place in the world is. Sometimes players want to be able to fill in their own gaps, and sometimes that can lead to the best ideas.
