Inheritance

It's well known that when a dwarf dies without a designated tomb, any possessions will be inherited by his/her spouse. In version 0.23.130.23a, I found that children will also inherit possessions if both of their parents die - it's almost certain that this is still the case, but it would still be prudent to verify. --Quietust 17:11, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Happy Thoughts

Do dwarves still get happy thoughts from having a tomb assigned to them? Extar 02:28, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't think they've ever gotten happy thoughts from that, even though the strings have been in the game since the old 2D version. --Quietust 21:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Tomb raiding

Can we safely loot a tomb if we totally need the stuff because, say, the last pickaxe is in it? Will the nobles want a bribe for letting me do it? unsigned comment by 174.89.221.108

No, you can't - the objects will continue to be owned by whoever was buried there. The scenario you describe is impossible, anyways - the only objects (other than the body) that will ever be stored in a tomb are finished goods such as clothes and crafts. --Quietust 21:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Ghosts create their own tombs?

In my current fortress, I have a "Hall of Remembrance" full of coffins designated for (b)urial. Nevertheless, a couple of dwarves went out and got shot up by goblins, rotting where they fell, and thus turned into ghosts. I just noticed that two of the coffins in my Hall of Remembrance have mysteriously become 1x1 tombs, owned by the Ghostly dwarves in question! I expect that memorializing those dwarves will cause the coffins to revert back to unassigned coffins, but I haven't checked this yet. --68.6.44.204 20:52, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
