Function

The Hammerer is the executioner of your fortress. Normally, a dwarf that has committed a crime will be subject to justice at the hands of your Sheriff (later the Captain of the guard), who will imprison the criminal in jail. However, if the crime is particularly heinous, the Hammerer will dispense the swift and brutal justice that rides on the head of his or her hammer.

In order for the hammerer to execute criminals, you must have an available chain in your jail - a cage cannot be used. If you have no available chains, the criminal's punishment will be automatically reduced to a Beating.
