<p>Dissonance: </p> <hr /> <div>A '''tomb''' is a room designated from a [[Burial receptacle|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 [[nobles]] 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 &quot;inferior&quot; 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.<br /> <br /> Dwarves that have been assigned to tombs will retain all of their possessions, and other dwarves will place them in the tomb; otherwise, all of the dwarf's possessions will become unowned, likely to be claimed shortly by another dwarf.<br /> <br /> When a dwarf dies, his possessions will be brought to his tomb, if one is assigned. Having a cabinet allows dwarves to store the objects easily, as otherwise they would be distributed one-per-square.<br /> <br /> Making a tomb for every dwarf in your fortress can be time consuming. 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.<br /> <br /> {{buildings}}<br /> [[Category:Rooms]]</div>
