Execution is pretty rare in Orlanthi society. In Thunder Rebels it states:
"If a servant of the Predark is succored, or those who sacrifice to the Predark, or seek its mystery, knowingly or unknowingly, whether ill come of it or no, then twenty cows and outlawry"
Of course, while execution is rare, killing is more common. If the offender isn't killed before trial they are likely to be killed afterwards, once outlawed.
(Of course, punishments in Orlanthi society aren't really standardised either - the above is probably best viewed as a guideline - and clan or tribe politics are always likely to have an influence on the actual sentence).
