The ashes of "Mr. Dwarf Victim X" were placed on the wooden shelf of Murphy's office at dawn. For a peculiar sense of "ritual", Cui Si had specially found a dwarf-styled earthen jar to hold the ashes.
Actually, according to dwarf tradition, it would be more appropriate to use a metal jar.
For instance, Brass Dwarves would use brass or gold jars, Silver Dwarves would naturally use silver jars, and Frost Dwarves would usually use cold iron jars. It's this unique tradition that results in many valuable items in the Dwarves' grand tombs. Yet, few tomb robbers on the continent would dare venture into the Dwarves' graveyards. The Dwarves' grudges and safeguarding for tradition were unimaginable for humans- to offend them meant a debt that would be remembered until death.
In extreme cases, it might even afflict descendants, after all, dwarves belonged to the Eternal Species, and they indeed bore grudges deeply.
