Execution

Execution is the punishment of a crime through death. It is often performed in public as a means of enforcing authority or demoralizing political dissent, particularly in times of political instability.
Noblemen are often executed by beheading - which is considered to be more quick and humane than a comparatively slow death by hanging, which is normally meted out to lowborn criminals (and thus it is considered more humiliating for a nobleman to be hanged).
== Crimes punished through execution ==
There are a set of Laws which were laid out by King Barden to dictate which serious crimes can result in execution, although in practice anyone can be executed for any crime:
* Desertion
* Treason
* Murder
*Regicide
In cases of Desertion by soldiers of the wall under House Daradon, they can either be executed or sent to exile into The Anarchy which is considered as an execution in of itself due to the nature of the region.
