Talk:Madan no Ou to Vanadis:Volume 06 Chapter 5

Considering the time period, and location (British Isles), may I suggest that "The collar people" be replaced with serfs.

Actually it may be better to refer to them as 'civilians' as they aren't exactly serfs. Serfs were a caste subordinate to a noble to the level of almost slavery. 'Collar people' could very easily be in reference to 'white collar' or 'blue collar' which references the 'working class'. Unknownadd (talk) 23:48, 6 December 2013 (CST)

The impression that I got of "collar people" is less of a working class and more like a yoked oxen, with a collar around its neck. There are also other reasons that I think serfs is a better word choice. First is the description of the village in chapter 3 volume 6 and the consequences if they resisted. Secondly, the epilogue in volume 6 that shows it is unusual to consider the safety of the "collar people", (if I remember correctly, in the earlier edits, "collar people" was used instead of townspeople). Also, Tallards indifference to the destruction of several villages. Blake77 (talk) 05:44, 7 December 2013 (CST)
