108.1.141.197 Extremely popular with the scrutators of the Protectorate is the wrack. This cruel device inflicts constant torment and suffering, allowing the criminal to send “Sufferings Prayers” to Menoth. These screams and cries of anguish, induced by both the savagely serrated chains and the mind-muddling haze of incense, are viewed by the scrutators as a spiritual release for the penitent (and the not-so-penitent). Indeed, those who wish to atone for their sins in the hopes of some form of redemption volunteer for the wrack and the days, or possibly weeks, of incessant torment that it brings. ‘Jacking is a grave and brutal punishment reserved for the basest of criminals. With this punishment, the prisoner is manacled to the body of a steamjack, limbs along limbs, and then the ‘jack parades to and fro. The result is almost always death, and the extent of the suffering depends upon how the prisoner is bound to the ‘jack. Typically, the guilty individual is manacled so that his limbs bend in the same direction as the ‘jack’s, but sometimes criminals are manacled facing the construct, so that their joints do not bend the same way. The steamjack’s movements immediately shatter joints and usually tear the criminal limb from limb. At the same time the ‘jack is scalding hot. Miraculously a few criminals have survived this punishment, but they are often little more than paralyzed, useless husks of cooked flesh and bone. This is an especially popular punishment in Khador. More conventional death penalties are also carried out throughout the kingdoms. Hanging and beheading are by and large the most common forms. In the Protectorate, death by fire is the leading form of execution, though sometimes they actually boil their criminals in cauldrons, pick them apart with redhot pincers, or douse them in vats of Menoth’s Fury. Possibly the slowest form of execution is gibbeting where a criminal is hung from chains or a gibbet or sealed in a hanging cage and left to die of thirst. Sometimes the authorities may give him water and let him starve to death. This is a favored method for executing pirates or displaying undead Cryxians. In Khador, the executioner’s axe remains popular. The firing squad has also become an accepted method of execution in Cygnar and Khador and is reserved for criminals of great fame or notoriety, usually those accused of military or political crimes. Many places have local traditions such as drowning in Corvis or burying criminals alive in Ulgar. Some wizards have developed extremely unpleasant, lethal spells that cause the victim to be eaten alive from within or completely flay the victim’s skin from his body causing him to die in bloody agony. Khador, Cryx, and the Protectorate have also been known to crucify and impale prisoners, and the former two of these three kingdoms—and other various places—sometimes restrain condemned criminals in an arena or pit and beasts are set loose to rend and tear them to pieces. Like most deaths, these are spectacles attended by the public, and gambling and other festivities are common. Also used in Cryx, corpse binding is a specialized torture requiring the intervention of Lord Toruk’s priests. The criminal is slowly tormented to death by necrosurgeon torturers at which point his spirit is captured and bound back into his rotting body. The body can then be controlled as a thrall, carrying the spirit along in agony. Such thralls are just as effective as normal thralls, but the screams and wails of the bound spirits make them unsuitable for stealth and rather disturbing to the living. Such spirits can speak, but normally they do little more than beg for the release of death. inequality under the laW despite the efforts of king leto and other progressives, many old laWs and ingrained traditions are diffiCult to Change. in partiCular, it has long been the praCtiCe that those of noble title are immune to proseCution on many petty offenses suCh as drunkenness, improper speeCh, theft, burglary, or in some Cases, extortion and assault. this immunity has been expanded in some plaCes to inClude toWn funCtionaries or City bureauCrats. bringing serious Charges against any landed noble or group of nobles is a diffiCult proposition, and the evidenCe must be overWhelming. this traditional “extra burden of proof” involving the nobility is found in every kingdom to some extent and Was partiCularly exploited in llael prior to the khadoran oCCupation. in ord Castellans are similarly exempt from petty Charges and Can, in faCt, retaliate laWfully on those Who aCCuse them of “spurious Charges.” in khador anCient familial ties elevate an individual to being “above the laW” in many regions although in some Cases this is more a matter of intimidation than legal preCedenCe. Table 2–7 lists some crimes and typical punishments for the human kingdoms. Cryx is not listed, for punishments in that nation are almost completely arbitrary. World Guide 129
