If any of that is mentioned in any of the books, Farseer or Tawny Man (or Liveship), then I don't recall it at all. I’ve read both the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies multiple times and the Liveship Trader books twice, and I think I would remember something like that.

It is Wikipedia, and anybody can change things on it and mess it up. A few months ago I was on there reading a page about the upcoming 7th Harry Potter book and somebody had gone on and randomly stuck in the phrase "DONKEY KONG" all throughout the entire article, which was annoying to say the least. This could be something like that. I do like Wikipedia for easy access to a wide variety of information, however it isn't the most reliable source.
