How to properly honor a heroic (but not dead) dwarf

How to properly honor a heroic (but not dead) dwarf - Gravestones with helmets in cemetery

So I recently got into Dwarf Fortress. I am only on my second fortresses (my first one died of dehydration as soon as winter came and all the water froze) and my poor dwarfs were recently attacked by a werpanther and I lost 6 dwarfs before the monster was killed. I figured that the dwarf that killed the beast died in the fight (there was blood everywhere) and started preparing an honorable burial for him (bejeweled coffin anyone?) but I found out that the one who did it survived the fight. I obviously can't put him in that coffin now. So what can I do to honor him?

P.S. He has absolutely no leadership skills. I think he is either a lumberjack or a hunter.



Best Answer

Give him a noble title. What titles you have available will depend on the size of your fort but the title of Baron (and its upgraded versons) are perfect for a hero like this.

You could also honour him with material rewards. Carve out an underground mansion for him, filled with high-quality furniture (of his favourite materials or valuable metals if you can get them). You can have a lot of fun designing homes like this and you guarantee that dwarf is going to always be happy.

Answer 2

Engrave the wall and floors. Eventually, one of the engravers will engrave the fight scene with the were-panther.
