Tomb raiding & grave robbing?

The answer is obvious, they were in HELL, who in their right mind would like to return from paradise.

A good, kind, noble and selfless person would return from paradise if he feels he still has jobs to do in the mortal world. Doing otherwise would be selfish ("Hmm, I was saving the world from invading fiends but I guess I'll just rest here from now on and the world can just go to hell").

It seems mere logic to me, that if it is common knowledge that offerings do NOT aid the passage to afterlife, mourners won't include offerings in burials because there's no point.

When dead people in western cultures are buried even today, they tend to be wearing good clothes, maybe some jewellery, and so on. Respect for the dead can take many forms, none of which have anything to do with pragmatic concerns.

So it would be extremely rare to find anything inherently valuable in a tomb/grave etc.

Only if you want it to be.

I started this thread because i was curious whether anyone else had given the subject any thought & come up with a rationale for their campaign.

Thinking too hard about fantasy is bad.
