Mah Zrahi Mej

Mah Zrahi Mej (lit. Death in Armor) is a method of torturous capital punishment used principally to execute convicted traitors, cannibals, and slavers in the Kingdom of Agy. Most commonly compared to immurement, it involves locking the convict within an iron suit, and removing it only upon their death.
A Yerkat’e Zgest from the Blrivra region.

The suits of armor used for carrying out the punishment, known as a Yerkat’e Zgest, are designed as a torture device; their robustness is required to prevent those interred within from breaking out rather than protecting them. The armor is riveted into itself while the convict is locked inside, greatly restricting movement.

You can't sleep in this thing; you can't sit, crouch, turn, or scratch. You even can't kill yourself. You are just left there, standing, as the leggings fill up with your shit and piss.   After two days, you can't keep yourself upright. You start leaning against the armor, with pressure sores popping up all over your body.   And then, infection sets in. Death comes some hours after your legs start feeling like they're rotting away. You deserve it, you monster.
