Spirits for the dead, items for the living. The only reason we entomb the dead with items is so that Irekhiniv have something to do in between their other escapades. We do not know what funerary rites these ones followed, so we should not assume that they want burial, nor should we care. They are dead, we are not. It is a waste to trust the dead with items they cannot use, and as I have not seen dedicated Irekhiniv out in this place... and seeing as we may be becoming Irekhin ourselves, looting is not just expected, it is compulsory. If they have signet rings, we may find occasion to forge a letter. If they have important entry documents, we may find occasion to use them. If they have money, we may find occasion to spend it. They do not have occasion to pen letters, to enter locations, or spend money, and if they should have occasion, I see no reason that they would possibly need their signet rings in an afterlife where their title cannot have meaning, entry papers to a place not in the afterlife, or money that is likely not the currency of said afterlife.
As for the topic of humbleness, let us be clear. Humbleness is not a virtue. It is, at best, neutral, and quite possibly a vice. It is demanding that someone not be proud of what they have done, lest they incur some nebulous wrath for doing what they intended to do, and it is disingenuous. People are not naturally humble, nor should they be made to be humble. Humbleness is a tool of the monarchists and the false-god-priests to make us think that we cannot possibly understand why they rule, when the reasons that the reasons cannot be understood is because there simply aren't any, rather than them being divine mysteries beyond understanding.
Humbleness is a tool of control. It glorifies self-loathing. It makes people reliant. That is when it is real. Most people who exhibit it, in my limited experience here, are clearly feigning it because it is socially unacceptable to be proud of what you have wrought. Humbleness is one of the biggest mistakes ever made in this plane of reality, and while I do endeavor to be diplomatic with people I may not have to deal with often, you are going to be around me for some time, so it is best that I get it out of the way that your touting of false virtues is disgusting and you should stop criticizing me for the HORRIBLE crime of being willing to bring up my accomplishments.
