Tikhan Herada's arrest occurred near Lantyan in the heart of The Stiriphese, orchestrated through the betrayal of a fellow Ananan. He was subsequently transported to Merinosis Palace to face charges of sedition against the rule of King Aegar I. In Merinosis Hall, his trial unfolded, but it was a heavily biased and predetermined affair, favouring the authority of the Grand Assembly. Tikhan Herada, accused of inciting rebellion and sedition against King Aegar I, faced almost certain conviction, given his status as a symbol of Ananan resistance. During the trial, Tikhan Herada mounted a valiant and eloquent defence, asserting that he had never sworn allegiance to King Aegar I, thereby arguing against the charge of treason.
Despite his courageous defence, Tikhan Herada was found guilty of treason. His punishment was the most gruesome penalty imaginable for a dissident during that era. His sentence included a public procession through the streets of Esprite, from Merinosis Palace to Hanghill, the designated site of execution. There, he was subjected to a horrifying sequence of events, including hanging by the neck, without immediate death. While still conscious, he endured the gruesome ordeals of disembowelment and castration. Finally, Tikhan Herada's head was severed, and his body was quartered. His head, placed on a pike on Castle Bridge in Esprite, was a horrifying warning, symbolising the unyielding dominance of the Magi.
