− | + | Only natural stone walls and floors can be engraved. Soil cannot be engraved. Engraving increases the value of a smoothed wall or floor and gives it a [[quality]] level, which is dependent upon the engravers’ skill. | |

They are a common alternative to [[coffin]]s when a body cannot be retrieved (whether due to [[invader]]s, an extremely [[unfortunate accident]], or simply large amounts of [[fun]]). They can also be used as a more efficient alternative to a [[statue]], as they do not block movement. The engraving on a slab does not have a quality level (though the slab itself does, when made by a [[stone carver]]). |
