Backstories and Legends was a supplement by Lorelei Shannon found in the Sierra's King's Quest VII: The Official Hint Guide. It contained accounts of various characters from KQ7, and events leading up to the game. It was originally based on design documents of ideas that were cut from the release of King's Quest VIII, and re-edited as a backstory into the KQ7 guide. Copies of the original unedited version from the design document can be found in the King's Quest Companion, 4th edition, and the Authorized King's Quest VII Players Guide.
