Ethics
Veneration of the Dead
The dwarves place a great amount of respect toward elders and heroes of legend. The great and honored dead are entombed forever in great mausoleums deep beneath the earth. It is a great honor to be buried with the great dead and perhaps the greatest shame to have your remains burnt and scattered to the winds. Different crypts exist for different status of dwarf. The lowliest craftsmen still hope to one day make a decent crypt for himself.
The dwarves often create family histories and massive tomb complexes with details of thier professions. Also, tools and supplies for the journey to the next life are kept in the tomb and often buried in the coffin with the individual.
