The punishment of crime

TenshouSNK··3 votes·906 views

Are people (criminals, thugs) hung as execution in the public within Demacia? Is this not kind if barbaric? Don't Demacian champions see this as awkward. So if some poorc dude was being hung in the middle if town, for example, would Quinn just walk past and not care or feel kinda bad for the guy regardless that he is a murderer. Would she have anything against it?

I imagine if public executions were part of the culture or law ordinance in the land it wouldn't be awkward for a champ like Quinn to leave a criminal to hang.

She is cruel then. To me, All life is precious. I would banish them but never kill. All life is precious.

Banishing a convict is probably what gets them executed in the first place.

But that's just my speculation; this is only a discussion about executions and Quinn's personality can be interpreted through her actions in lore and what she says in game.

Are there dungeons prisons underneath demacia where criminals are kept to rot? Btw I agree with what u stated, Quinn is very lawful therefore what you said is right about her, but me, I wouldn't see anyone executed, I would just throw em out.

How about banish the convicts then have Quinn track/hunt them down and kill them since she is a scout and tracker. That way they are being executed outside civilization where they no doubt deserve punishment.

Idk about dungeons or prisons in Demacia. I can't recall in recent lore if there are any. As for Quinn tracking the criminals down so she can execute them, it seems out of character for her and a waste of her time. She has the talent to track and traverse the terrain, sure, but her passion was becoming a Demacian knight. Executing criminals/ hunting them for sport seems beneath her abilities. Like, I wouldn't charge a high ranking officer with peon work. I imagine she has more important stuff to do like track down assassins like Talon.

You are right, I totally agree with you when you stated that it's beneath her abilities. BUT on the contrary if she was assigned to hunt the fleeing convicts and execute them as a minor task, would she agree? I would not consider it a sport something what draven does with convicts, but rather a task bestowed by the city to Quinn. Demacia let's the convicts lose, a chance on freedom, only if they succeed to escape demacian borders before Quinn catches up to them.

I would guess it depends on the severity of their crimes. If they're murderers, I think Quinn wouldn't hesitate to put them down. I'm not sure what she would do with a harmless convict like a thief, or some guy who didn't pay his taxes.

Well in that case pretty much every champ seems to be cruel since almost all are willing to kill their opponents.

Also I doubt that Quinn would enjoy seeing a criminal hung,but rather tolerate(since she can't do aynthing against it anyway) or see it as necessary to preserve the peace.

After reading her lore and listening to that sexy voice, I believe that she is a lawful demacian and while she may not enjoy seeing someone hung, I doubt that she would care since the man being hung is a criminal and since she is lawful, she would have no objections against the man's execution. I don't think she would have anything against his execution since its the demacian law which is doing it. I think that she would just walk past the convict who is hanging from a noose, strangled, fighting for his life. AND NOT LOOK BACK.

if it was something that was normal in demacian society then i doubt anyone would bat an eye. in fact the hanging of a criminal i imagine would cause some sort of celebration.

I just can not picture champions like Quinn walking past a guy being strangled to death by a noose. You think she would just walk past him and smile?

i don't think she would smile, i think being a fairly high ranking demacian she would either just a) ignore it completely or b) probably take a qyuick glance and keep walking. if it's a normal tradition thing in demacia most people would be used to it. the common people would treat it as some sort of public event most likely while military would likely ignore it completely and nobles would just be disgusted by the hanging dead commoner(granted not enough to really do anything just enough to avoid the hanging area).

Okay, thank you for your speculation. I long assumed that since goddess Quinn was not born within the city walls that she would have a different reaction or varying opinion on hung convicts. But her past life is something she does not look back at and is now a proud loyal demacian it seems. She seems very lawful, not by the books but still has a lot of loyalty to the monarch. Thus it is safe to assume that she dislikes criminals of all sorts especially those that threaten peace and therefore will have no issues at all with a few scumbags being noosed right in front of her.

You seem to be more than a little infatuated with Quinn as a character.
