Althought it would be fitting to say they have no executions, to say that I believe that would be a lie. For example say if Lady Alustriel was assassinated (through treachery or commone means) and the assassin was caught great many of Silverymoon would be clamoring for the assasin's head. Many, I would wager, would be willing to even strike the killing blow. So Silverymoon no doubt would have a death penalty... the mob would allow for nothing else
But it looks like Magic Matt beat me to the punch on this one |

| I recently just got myself the 2e The Seven Sisters manual and there was a small bit about the punishments used in Silverymoon. Yes, there is the death penalty to answer ROGUE's original question but it is not commonly used. Instead, magically gifted criminals are often feebleminded as a severe punishments. Arsonists or criminals who have often commited crimes are given the Flame of Torment punishment. A Flame of Torment consists of a magical sphere of fire in which a criminal floats. The sphere prevents the person inside from taking physical damage but all the pain from the fire is inflicted on the offender. The usual length of this punishment is one evening but for more severe crimes, the terms are as long as 3-7 days. For everyday the offender is exposed to the flames, there is a 20% chance that he/she will lose one point of constitution. |

I like the arsonist punishment. That section wasn't by any chance written by W. S. Gilbert, was it?  |

This 2e manual was written by Ed Greenwood himself.
As for page reference, it's on pg. 115 at the bottom. |

| The author "question" was in jest, my friend. W. S. Gilbert was the guy who said "Let the punishment fit the crime." |

Does Silverymoon have the death penalty?
