+ | A '''tomb''' is a resting place for the [[corpse|dead]]. "Tomb" has several meanings in the game: it can refer to a [[site]], a [[structure]], or a [[room]]. | ||

+ | In Fortress mode, a tomb is a [[room]] designated from a [[coffin]] (also called a casket or sarcophagus). A tomb can be assigned to a specific [[dwarf]], or to no dwarf at all. The primary function of tombs is to keep [[noble]]s [[thought|happy]]: certain nobles demand their own tomb, and the more self-important the noble is, the higher the [[room#Specific_room_quality_grades|quality]] they will require. In some circumstances a [[noble]] will get an unhappy [[thought]] if an "inferior" dwarf has a higher-quality tomb, however it is unclear what quality threshold the tomb must be to trigger the thought. Nobles may also store certain favored objects in their tombs. | ||

− | + | Dwarves that have been assigned to tombs will retain all of their possessions when they die, and other dwarves will place them in the tomb - it can be a good idea to keep a [[container|chest and cabinet]] in the tomb to ensure that all of the items fit; otherwise, all of the dwarf's possessions will be inherited by his/her [[marriage|spouse]] (if one exists) or simply become unowned. | |

More convenient than creating tombs for common dwarves is to designate coffins for {{k|b}}urial – a dwarf who dies will be placed in a randomly available coffin set for burial, unless he or she has a tomb assigned. This reduces negative thoughts and eliminates [[miasma]]. Of course, it's also important to make sure that the dwarf doing the burial isn't running into the middle of a battlefield to do so. |

They can be found underneath [[town]]s via [[catacombs]], or above-ground in specially constructed sites. These sites, also called tombs, are marked as {{Raw Tile|0|0:0:1}} on the world map. Above-ground tombs take the form of pyramids or towers that vary in size (small to enormous) and internal composition. The entrances are kept locked and has the option to be picked or bashed open. Upon entering, trespassers will be greeted with a messaged [[slab]] that warns: |
