Request: Tomb Blocks and Empty Tomb Blocks

Request Type: General Addition

Try to describe all workarounds and associated issues that make it necessary to add this block in your eyes.
requested by Emot because we essentially have no real way of making empty tombs without winterfell carvings, and those only work in a specific orientation.

My proposal is some form of tomb using the 3d model of the cauldrons, with a slab block for the case using something like the winterfell carvings CTM. It'd be great to have these things for Harrenhal (not biased), Baelors and generally any lords tombs across the continent for any potential major house redos like Blackwood Vale, Gulltown, Eyrie, any updates to the HG crypts, maybe works in sunspear idk how they bury their dead, just do whatever you want with it i dont give a shit

The only thing i think i would advise is not to have religious symbolism on the coffin itself, unless you want to make seperate things for both the northmen and the andals.

Types of evidence to support your request: Historical, Canon

Honestly theres nothing really that doesn't look like a tomb, however we have no ways of representing them being open in any way that looks good, and no ways at all of representing the figures on top.

I've chosen these quotes because in the context of the situation the tombs theyre talking about mean the actual like coffin part of the tomb rather than the tomb you enter

I think it would be good, if possible to get variants in different colours, with maybe a couple of different states?

(bit like how the current Winterfell tomb blocks have different carvings within them)

I don't think we should have separate Andal/First Men variants - because if the runic carving blocks get added you can just add those to any tomb block if you wanted to signal First Men/Old Gods. That would provide the most flexibility.

In researching the runic carving thread, I came across many graves with carvings of humans or events.
Sucks that runic carvings can't really fit these, but what if this is our chance to add a 1x3 CTM for a new First Men human carving block?
I know this is really ambitious... but it seems like such a cool feature in IRL exhibits, and it'd kill on First Men kingly graves :)


These could also be used above the doors of septs like a tympanum :D
