Shoveling

Shoveling is a form of execution practiced in Dace. Its exact nature has not been specified, but it is apparently a horrible and painful way to die, and is often watched as entertainment by bloodthirsty crowds in the capital of the country. It is implied to involve a shovel, and takes some time, and at some point results in dismemberment. It may be a ritual beating or breaking of bones, followed by a severing of the limbs with the spade.
Executioners who specialize in this method are considered performance artists, and are highly regarded.

-The extreme brutality and borderline comical nature of this execution style may be a reference to some absurdly elaborate forms of historical medieval torture, or simply a showcasing of the Dacians' brutality and worklike culture.
