|Execution was very common prior to the Revolution of 1613, whereas now, it is only used for extreme cases, such as mass murder, child molestation, staging an attempted coup, or wartime treason and war crimes. The Kyldigardian method is most commonly putting the condemned to sleep using a room full of chemical gas to suffocate them. Foreign non-citizens may not be executed without explicit permission from their host governments, unless at war.

|Chosen by condemned
|  
|Execution in Kyldigard is relatively commonplace, especially in cases of violent crime, war crimes, and sexual assault. However, the definition of "execution" in Kyldigardian law is infamously flimsy and therefore it is common practice to proclaim the condemned as "dead" before actually dying, as long as they have been sentenced to execution. After being sentenced, the former citizen is given what is known as their "Last Rights": The right to have one last state-provided meal before their demise (if they so choose it), the right to be remembered by history (i.e. having their choice of burial or cremation, having a gravesite, having their family members, loved ones, or the general public told about their death and method of execution, if they so wish), and the right to choose the way that they die, even if it exceeds what would normally be considered their fundamental rights as a citizen of Kyldigard. The executed may not decide the exact person to be the executor, certain forbidden locations, or privacy of their execution, but they may choose the executor's race or gender in cases in which it would matter. It is also legal for any person convicted of a crime or otherwise any citizen without family or kin who wishes to end their own life, to request execution without trial. Due to these legal practices, many Kyldigardians decide to die in unusual ways. Notable unusual methods include state-endorsed dueling to the death and death by skyfall, or the dropping of the executed from high altitude without protective measures. Peace before death is held in high regard in Relejenist beliefs, with the relinquishing of final thoughts to the Relej being another Final Right for any executed Relejenist Kyldigardian citizen.
