I was wondering if this was ever covered in either RPG material or the novels. It has become part of a plot in my campaign but I was wondering how the elves execute their enemies? For elves I understand they become exiled Dark Elves but for non-elves? For Dark Knights of Neraka let say. Hanging, beheading, burnt to death over a basket of live Aspen saplings?? Anyone have an idea?

From the novels it seems much more likely the elves would just imprison their enemies, assuming they weren't killed in the middle of a battle. Something about the elven respect for life, or some such crap. ;) Of course, perhaps this is no longer a viable option for the now homeless elves ...

In Dragons of a Fallen Sun, Mina was going to be executed by General Konnal. However, it was clear that this was an abberation, only done because of Cyan's counsel and the elves' own fear. This was probably the first (attempted) execution done on Silvanesti soil..

Do you remember if it said how he was to execute her? I read the novel but the War of Souls trilogy just seems to 'blur' between the few bits I liked...

Tied to a stake and shot full of arrows. Seven archers with an arrow apiece, all at noon.

And one of the seven archers was randomly given an empty quiver, so they wouldn't know who exactly shot her. ;)

In the Sacrifice, the short about Gilthas becoming Speaker, Samar was detained and slated to be executed by the elves. He got rescued, sure, bu they were going to execute him. Anyway, just an example that Mina wasn't the first and they had at least one other aberration.
