The Royal Executioner

Must be proficient in the use of the royal's preferred method of execution.

The royal executioner must be reasonably strong, emotionally stable, and able to prevent any struggles.

A royal can appoint an executioner, or, should the royal be hesitant, the executioner can be elected by the people.

The executioner must be able to hold the weight of killing the royal they were appointed by or for.

Executioners are paid well, and they often get to spend the week of their title in the palace. If they have another job, they are given paid leave in order to temporarily pursue their new employment.

Executioners are generally cloaked head to toe in black robes. In addition, they are given whatever tools they need to carry out the execution.

While no executioners have been dismissed as of yet, a failure to commit the execution can lead the executioner to be let go without monetary pay.

After a religious war concerning the suns and the moon, King Theodore Lethain of Munya devolved from a strict king into a tyrant. The older he became, the more apparant his tyranny became. No one could exit Munya, and few could enter. Leading up to her coup, the wizard Lethe took notice of this pattern and established the role of the royal executioner to prevent old royals from letting power get to their heads.

The executioners are seen as era-defining members of society, and, in harsher nations, bringers of hope. At the dusk of the current ruler's hundredth birthday, after the celebrations are over, the royal and their executioner will take the stage, and the royal will be executed through a method of their choice.
