seems a bit of obscure material for the game and doesn't really explain much. could it be merged with its owning article the book it was feature in?
The article should be kept and improved, as the event is considered an important turning point in the history of the Nine Hells. Likely much more will be explained once Fiendish Codex II is released.--Robbstrd21:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Where is it from? a 3rd party product? I don't recall ever reading anything about it. Obviously it is 3rd edition so should that be explained somewhere in the article then? I have been playing versions of D&D for 20 years and never heard of it. shadzar|Talk|contribs04:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
See the references section. It's been an official part of the mythology of the Nine Hells since 2E AD&D, mentioned in the WotC sourcebooks A Guide to Hell, Manual of the Planes, and Book of Vile Darkness. --Muchness09:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
I have the 1e Manual of the Planes but never really used it, I guess the other then are campaign setting specific (maybe Planescape), or 3rd edition. Is it notable enough to have its own article? I would think being in cluded in an article about the Manual of the Planes would be enough since it is only referenced in 3 accesories. shadzar|Talk|contribs12:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
It's also referenced in several official modules. A Guide to Hell is a general 2E AD&D sourcebook, it isn't campaign specific. The edition of Manual of the Planes that mentions the Reckoning is 3E and BoVD is 3.5E. This is a key element of D&D's lower planes history, and judging by the benchmark for notability set by other fictional occurrences (e.g., comic book universes, Star Wars), a case can be made for its inclusion. If it's to be merged, Baator would be the most appropriate target article in my opinion, but I think both articles are too long to justify merging. --Muchness14:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
