This does not establish notability independent of Eberron through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

 * Merge and Redirect  into World of Eberron. The info is verifiable in authoritative sources and the topic is a reasonable search term. Per WP:PRESERVE, merging of verifiable topics is preferable to deletion and WP:ATD-M seems to apply here, Pages about non-notable fictional elements are generally merged into list articles or articles covering the work of fiction in which they appear. --Mark viking (talk) 05:58, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * transwiki to some fansite that would love this kind of trivia. As for Wikipedia, there are only primary non independent sources and so it fails WP:GNG with no independent coverage, which leaves the options of merge redirect or delete. Since the suggested merge target is already also overflowing with only primary sourced in universe coverage, merging would appear to be simply an exercise in shoveling the shit from one corner of the stall to another to let it stink there. There has been no evidence presented that the word is a likely search term for which people who enter that particular string of characters would be looking for this particular obscure reference from D&D and not say a mistyping of some village in Asia or a yummy ethnic food. Delete seems to be a perfectly legit option. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  16:44, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge per BOZ. Hihidufgh (talk) 04:28, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * since BOZ identified no policies or guidelines for the basis of his !vote, your "per BOZ" carries the exact same weight when analyzing to determine policy consensus, ie none. care to elaborate?-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  11:34, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hold - I ask that this page be held off from being merged by the closer so that I may do the necessary tasks rather than having to work twice of three times as hard to fix a mergeless redirect that would otherwise be performed. A widescale and large clean up operation is underway as noted by this discussion. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:53, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
