-'''Slabs''' are buildings which serve primarily to commemorate the dead. Unlike [[coffin]]s, slabs do not require any body part of the deceased to function, allowing you to prevent the appearance of [[ghost]]s of dwarves whose bodies are no longer recoverable. Engraved slab [[memorial]]s are usually made for your fort's citizens, but can be made in remembrance of any historical figure which dies on your lands.
-A slab must first be constructed at a [[mason's workshop]] ({{k|Alt}}+{{k|s}}lab) from a single [[stone]], and can then be turned into a [[memorial]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] by an [[engraver]] (using {{k|Alt}}+{{k|s}}:Engrave memorial slab). After it has been engraved, the slab may be built from the {{k|b}}uilding menu under {{k|Alt}}+{{k|s}}. In order to prevent placing slabs which have not yet been engraved, make sure to e{{k|x}}pand the list when selecting which slab should be placed.
-You can use an engraved slab to create a [[memorial hall]] from the slab's {{k|q}} menu. This is functionally identical to a [[sculpture garden]]. Engraved slabs can be read in fortress mode using {{k|t|Enter|v}}, revealing information on the arrival and death of the creature. If the subject slew any important figures or fortress dwarves, this may also be noted on the slab. If you're not sure how a dwarf or creature died, engraving a slab in their memory may reveal the killer.
-Slabs, whether blank or engraved, can also be built solely to increase a [[room]]'s [[value]]. They aren't terribly valuable, but don't block movement.
-{{minorspoiler}}
-[[Artifact]] slabs can be found in [[vault]]s throughout the world. Although extremely well-guarded, your dwarves can perform raid [[mission]]s to capture them and bring them back to your fortress.
-== Adventurer mode ==
-In [[adventurer mode]], slabs are occasionally used as signs. They also appear in two particularly interesting places. If you manage to infiltrate or conquer a [[necromancer]]'s [[Tower (necromancy)|tower]], you may find an engraved slab which contains the secrets of life and death. To read this, you need to pick it up with {{k|g}}, enter advanced interaction menu with {{k|Shift}}+{{k|I}}, select the slab, select {{k|a}} to read it, and voila! You can now raise the dead too. Basic [[reader|reading]] [[skill]]s are required to do this, so make sure to start your adventurer with some reading skill.
-A slab is also found in the bottom of sealed [[vault]]s, which contains a different kind of secret. See the [[Vault]] article for further details.
