This right here. There is a direct correlation between how complex your additions to the lore are and how many questions demand answering to satisfy that complexity. Each answer you provide increases the chance that you will later on be contradicted.
When filling in the gaps keep it simple. It'll save yourself, and everyone, a lot of headaches and spare us all the frustration of having to agree on unnecessary consensus. Consider also that we don't have to have all the answers for how things are the way they are in the setting.
