The Hanging Ceremonies

Crime is a natural part of life in the Black Thorne. Some areas will have more violent crime than others, in that aspect no two places are the same.
Sedibeng have below average crime statistics. The noble houses have put a great effort into working their people. So crime based on extreme poverty is rare. Instead, crime tends to be based on bouts born from a lack of cohesion between communities. Reputations are a point of pride and extremely valuable. Business, family, love can be built up and broken apart on rumours alone.


Because of this, infractions of honour can easily escalate to infractions of law.
As a counter, law is measured carefully but punished severely.

The most severe; public execution.
It’s a difficult thing for the Ufele to simply die, so it was decided that hanging was most humane method.
Hangings are a public event, with many witnessing the trial and then watching the result.
