I've always assumed that nailing them to a Death rune had a lot to do with it? I'm not too sure what effect that would have magically or mythically, but there's bound to be something.
Making an example is probably another strong point in its favour. It's a slow, painful way to die, and very public. Guard them, of course, while there'd be any point in rescue. As long as it takes to die, plus seven days. (Or given the death rune, maybe that's seven days total?)
I'd assume that disposing of the body the way Orlanthi would want it disposed of would be something to avoid anyway as a matter of principle?
