At the center of Saint-Grato City, there was a raised wooden platform, surrounded by a large crowd of the city's people, who had come to watch the event that was about to take place.
The sun beamed down on those who were atop the platform. Roughly twenty female prisoners, dressed in rags and chained by their ankles and wrists, stood there.
Standing over them were numerous executioners waiting to deliver judgement.
Further back was a Bishop of Calvenus, who was announcing the reasons for the prisoners' executions, and even further back was King Calvin XXXII, watching the display with some of his closest men beside him.
Executions were like watching theatre plays in the Kingdom of Calvin. Whilst some other kingdoms had abandoned such practices, the Calvenus worshippers saw execution as an opportunity to spread creativity.
