In both, the victim as soon as the elephant starts stomping on it and the hangman when he gets soiled by anything that squirts out of the victim's head.

I was thinking that trying to get an elephant to do what you want it to do, and not what it wants to do might be a headache in itself!
 

Other Forms Of Execution.​


Hanging by the noose at the gallows in public. To watch as spectator or executer is very exciting fantasy for me.
I prefere allways a huge mixed crowd, but a huge crowd is technical very difficult to accomplish.

This device is a Wrack, a sort of Crucifix/Torture Rack hybrid used by the Protectorate of Menoth. One of the Factions in the Iron Kingdoms setting.

Quick lore rundown:
The Protectorate are a faction of religious zealots devoted to the Human god of Menoth
they like, Fire, Menoth and Setting people on fire in the Name of Menoth.
They dislike all the non Human factions, Most of the Human Factions And anyone wearing the Color blue.

as for the Device itself the Lore reads:
The scrutators (an Order of war Priests who serve as Judiciary in the Protectorate) of the Protectorate offer the screams of heretics as sacrifice, and the wrack is one of their favored tools for obtaining this fuel for their holy work. The construct was once a common sight across western Immoren; when the priest- kings battled the hordes of Molgur, they celebrated victories with row upon row of defiant barbarians affixed to symbols of their Menite faith.

Today the wrack is once more a common sight, an instrument much valued by the scrutators for the awe it inspires in the faithful and the fear it incites in heretics. The recent crusades have reintroduced the wrack to the enemies of the faith as Menite armies carry the means to both punish and terrify the unjust.

Those sentenced to the wrack spend days or weeks hanging from chains and shrouded in a fog of incense, forced to reflect upon their sins as they cry out through unbearable pain. Even the strongest wills quickly erode. While most are wracked as punishment, some few seek out this suffering willingly, hoping for absolution from the burden of their heavy souls. The sight of wracked martyrs, glowing with divine radiance in suffering, has sometimes been sufficient to end battles before they even begin.

Prior to the release of death, the wracked individual’s soul is redeemed whether his contrition is forced or voluntary, and his body glows white-hot under the scrutiny of Menoth’s gaze. The Lawgiver’s redemption cleanses the penitent, whose soul becomes a radiant source of power for the Protectorate’s warcasters. When the sufferer relinquishes his soul, the release of energy is consumed in an eruption of fiery essence—yet another tangible reminder of the righteousness of Menite faith and glory.

I adore the wracks but otherwise didn’t like Menoth. My army of choice was Cryx. Great game, thanks for an amazing image, I wish I had one of those in real life, one of these is perfect for me, right down to that gorgeous loincloth skirt! Mmmm
