A '''tomb''' is a room designated from a [[coffin|coffin (or 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. | A '''tomb''' is a room designated from a [[coffin|coffin (or casket or sarcophagus)]].

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. | 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. |
− | + | In adventure mode there are human made structures called tombs, they usually take the form of pyramid varying in size and internal composition. Inside are statues of random creatures, slabs with writing on them, skeletons everywhere, weapon traps and one or more coffins in the middle of the main room. The coffin contains a corpse that has a name, unlike the others lying around it, don't get to close to the coffin unless fun is the main objective, beware the curses. | |
