Execution site?

Ok, VD, I was wondering if there was an execution site where a particularly wealthy town or simply a nobleman would go to have those who crossed him murdered or executed. I ask this because in reality you'd probably just want to leave the corpse impaled on a spike rather than take the time to bury it, but also to show off a warning to visitors on what happens when you fuck with the wrong people. Now, why not do it in town you ask? Because it stinks and can be a health hazard (not that they know anything about that I would suppose). But also because it can raise alot of questions if said executed was connected with another house, so instead they take it outside the town to a well known execution spot or at a crossroads between highways. Is there a place like that?

Nope, sorry, Major. It's a good idea, but it didn't occur to me during the development.

This is a good fucking idea, no matter what anyone says. Post apocalyptic societies, or any society that has a tyrannical leader, will often have mass execution sites. Hell, didnt the romans used to line the highways to rome with crucified enemies and slaves as a warning to those who crossed them?

Good idea, but they should contain random riches too.
