There is...there are these headsman. Well there's one but he appears to be able to be in several places at once. Thus far, no one has been able to get past him to prevent the punishments. Those who have held arms against him I believe have...found the headsman fights back.

[And for a group such as them, with so many talents and abilities, he has the power to see his rules and punishments are followed through to the letter.]
