| + | A tomb is a [[zone]] in which [[dwarf|dwarves]] and pets can be buried. A tomb can be assigned to a specific dwarf, or to accept dwarves and/or pets for burial. 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. | ||

Creating one large tomb with multiple coffins similar to a [[barracks]] will not work, doing so will cause one coffin to be used and the rest to remain empty. This strategy of creating a mass burial room reduces negative thoughts, eliminates [[miasma]], and stops dead dwarves rising as [[ghost]]s. 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. |

Tombs may host a number of [[artifact]]s, and, as such, can be [[raid]]ed in fortress mode. Doing so, however, is likely to provoke the ire of their residents. | Tombs may host a number of [[artifact]]s, and, as such, can be [[raid]]ed in fortress mode.
