Talk:Slavery

Stub
This is really just a stub to get things going. I was surprised there was no info on this wiki about slavery in the FR setting. I added as much info as I could and tried to reference as much as possible. I could add more details from memory but wouldn't be able to cite sources. This is a lurid enough topic that it should draw editors. Boo Too - &#34;Go for the eyes!&#34; (talk) 15:27, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, Boo, interesting page... I am wondering if this page should be called slave, like a profession of sorts, or a title (not sure how to categorize it?) or slavery, at which point, I am really not sure how to categorize it... hehe... maybe someone else will have insight... one thing I can tell you... I like the page :) Darkwynters (talk) 15:35, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * I guess it might make sense to rename this page "Slavery" and create a redirect for "Slave" Boo Too - &#34;Go for the eyes!&#34; (talk) 15:49, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * We haven't got much in the way of articles about general concepts yet, that give an overview of a topic in the Realms, but I think it's worthwhile to have. It's good. It could answer questions like: where is slavery practiced in the Realms, where is it banned, customs and laws related to slavery. For example, I wrote the rather specific Orion slavery for the Star Trek wiki.
 * But I think "Slavery" would be a better title and focus than "Slave". "Slave" would just be the dictionary definition of the word, while "Slavery" covers everything related to it: every different form of slavery; where it's practiced; Slavery in Thay, Slavery in Chessenta, etc.; where it's banned; customs and laws; slavers and slaves. Everything could go in a Slavery article. "Slavery" would be categorised as a type of business or industry, and people who are slaves would be categorised as "Slaves". — BadCatMan (talk) 02:25, May 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, I have switched slave to the redirect of slavery and created the category industries... which as of right now, I can only think of it as a master cat... If anyone has a better idea, please give it a try and any further thoughts would be awesome! Thanks :) Darkwynters (talk) 03:45, May 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Looks good to me. But I decided to rename "Slave" to "Slavery" to preserve BooToo's credit as original author. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 03:50, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
