The Mercy Seat is a large marble throne at the center of Judgment Square in Tai-tastigon. It is used for the public torture and execution of criminals found guilty of the most heinous crimes. Public flaying alive on the Seat appears to be the most common form of execution, this being performed for (among other things), robbery involving undue violence, or the injury or death of a guard. For an attempt on the life of a Guild-lord or a member of the Five, the accused is given to the mob to torment before the flaying. Three deaths are shown on the Mercy Seat during God Stalk.
