Talk:Adimarchus

Regarding "no clear connection to the Forgotten Realms"
I created this page as I noticed some dead links in the Abyss and Graz'zt articles, and have some knowledge on the topic. I'm perfectly OK if this is deemed non-canon and should be removed, but in that case I believe we should also remove all mentions of Adimarchus and Occipitus (the 507th layer) from both those pages?

 * If I may offer some insight here. The wiki does include some non-Realms articles (such as many beings from the Abyss) that originate from vanilla D&D, but we make sure to keep them distinct from articles specific to the Realms. Ruf (talk) 00:12, 20 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Ok, I think I understand. I don't have any hard feelings if this subject is deemed too far from the Realms to be present in this wiki, but it seems like an important bit of lore behind this specific abyssal layer. WanderingKobold (talk)

Regarding "this article does not cite its references or sources"
Today there are two main sources of information about Adimarchus: an Adventure Path initially published in Dungeon Magazine (I can find the exact references of each article if needed), and some short references in the Fiendish Codex. I've included both, but didn't include references at every paragraph because they would all point to the same book. Maybe I should, though? (Sorry if I made some mistakes, it's basically my first edit and I wanted to help...) WanderingKobold (talk)


 * Regarding the citations, the Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss citation in the 4 line of the History section is a great start - ideally we want to have all the information in an article sourced like that. I made a small formatting change to that citation in order to to demonstrate the standard form we use here. With the Shackled City Adventure Path information in the opening paragraph it would be preferred to cite the Dungeon magazine article directly - do you happen to know the issue number? Hope this helps and I personally appreciate the additions as I am always looking to learn more about the planes.Ruf (talk) 00:12, 20 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Done, I filled all citations and tried to use Dungeon Magazine whenever possible. Thanks a lot for your help! WanderingKobold (talk)
