In-Game Text

And twelve valiant sons of the great-souled Trojans slew he with the bronze - and grim was the work he purposed in his heart and thereto he set the iron might of fire, to range at large.

-Homer, 850 BC

The only peace to be found in the Lumberwoods comes with death, and a secure, proper burial. Burial Rights instructs Pilgrims on the ritual of burying the remains of those no longer with us to keep their spirits and the spirits of their decendents safe and sound.

Interment

The Corpse icon.png Corpse of any pilgrim who has Permanently Died will decompose into a Skeleton icon.png Skeleton in about 24 hours. To make the most of your Inheritance is important to recover and protect the Skeleton of your ancestors. With the Larceny Skill learned, pilgrims can right-click and select "Desecrate" to permanently Destroy your Skeleton after a couple of Days, preventing you from Interring your Skeleton or Paying Respects. Desecrating a Skeleton will give you that Skeleton's Pilgrim's Skull icon.png Pilgrim's Skull but will leave Evidence Theft.png Larceny Scents. The best way to protect your Skeleton is to inter it under a Tombstone icon.png Tombstone or inside a Crypt icon.png Crypt. NOTE: A Skeleton can be Lift icon.png Lifted, but can NOT be loaded into Landcraft or Watercraft.

Interment Option 1: Burial

  1. Build a Coffin icon.png Coffin.
  2. Lift icon.png Lift your Skeleton icon.png Skeleton and right-click in on the Coffin.
  3. Lift your Coffin and right-click the ground and select "Bury".
  4. This will Bury the Coffin and replace it with a Tombstone icon.png Tombstone.
WARNING! A Tombstone is subject to Grave Robbing - a criminal can Dig icon.png Dig up your Coffin and retrieve your Skeleton.

Interment Option 2: Entombment

  1. Build a Crypt icon.png Crypt.
  2. Lift icon.png Lift your Skeleton icon.png Skeleton and enter the Crypt.
  3. Right-click the pedestal at the center of the Crypt.

Unlike a Tombstone, a Crypt is not subject to Grave Robbing.

Paying Respects

Interring a dead pilgrim, made from the same account as yours, allows you to Pay Respects to them once every 10 hours, by selecting the appropriate Any Flower icon.png Any Flower and right-clicking in on their Tombstone icon.png Tombstone or on the pedestal inside their Crypt icon.png Crypt. Each time you do this you will receive 10% of the difference between your Proficiency and theirs, based on the Flower you chose.
