Rogues Alley

Outro

Leading from the East Gate is the street known as Rogues Alley. In spite of the name, it is more properly an avenue, and one of the main thoroughfares into the city. At the far end lies the Octagon. This wide plaza has long been the location for executions of condemned criminals. In accordance with Formourian traditions, nobles, knights, and soldiers have the option of decapitation. All others are hung. Bodies (or just the heads, in those cases) are displayed for half of a week. The gallows at the Octagon can simultaneously hang three people. Sometimes multiple executions within that five-day period cause the bodies to spread back down Rogues Alley.
