Personally I like the idea that there is a distant tale that explains it but that we may never learn. Sort of like how C.S. Lewis tells readers he may tell the story of how the Lone Islands became part of Narnia (but never does), or the rumor in the Hobbit that one of the Tooks took a fairy wife. It is left a mystery and readers may speculate, and these hints do a lot to make the worlds bigger.
