It is not lorebreak to create a character who has history and experiences that originate from the Eastern Lands, or anywhere that we have limited information about. Expanding your own ideas based on information we already know is called "lorebending" and is perfectly acceptable so long as it's done responsibly.

However, it is lorebreak to continue playing a character with lorebent backstory that clearly contradicts new lore which was released after you made your character. This is the inherent risk that all who lorebend are obligated to accept; if you lorebend, you had better be prepared to rework or even completely scrap that character if new lore comes out conflicting with your lorebend.
