New page

The '''guillotine''' is a [[beheading]] [[machine]] intended to reliably effect the quick and painless [[execution]] of condemned men. The device exists to deliver a humane execution. Hence its conception is opposed wholly to that of devices used to [[torture]] the condemned to [[death]], chief among them the [[Breaking Wheel|breaking wheel]].

The machine severs the [[head]] from the [[body]] by means of a slashing blow that a heavy, diagonally-edged blade delivers as it accelerates down a pair of channels from a height. Whereas the blow from an executioner's axe or sword must sometimes be repeated to complete it work, the blade of a properly maintained guillotine need ever fall only once.

The guillotine enjoys at least some use in [[Dementlieu]], with [[Lord-Governor Bernard Foquelaine]] himself being counted among its victims.
