A few moments after, a giant aquarium-like box was rolled into the courtroom by twenty strong 'dragonkin.' It was filled to the brim with water and had rune-like inscriptions overlaid on the exterior to strengthen the specially made glass even further.
The families of the traitors began to cry out in fear and panic, begging anyone who would even lend an ear. But no one did.
The previously riled up room of nobles vying for favor by acting more offended than they actually were by the traitors' sins, was now deadly silent. This wasn't just a normal death. It was like damning them to eternal unrest… according to their customs.
One could guess what happened next. The bound family heads and elders were made to watch and hear the cries and struggle of every family member turn to stillness as they sank to the bottom of the tank.
It chilled the heart to watch.
