	Between [[B.G.A.]] 6 and the mid [[Ages#The Fifth Age\|Fifth Age]] when Slayer Dragons were laid to rest in the [[Valley of Sleeping Dragons]], they were always buried in full regalia.

Their costume regalia might also be placed in the tomb along with other personal effects.

	In the Fifth Age as the custom of [[ash pits]] was adopted, a few Slayer Dragons were burned in their regalia. This created a problem as the many metal parts of the suit simply did not burn. The entire concept of the ash pit ensured that the body was entirely consumed, bone and all, so leaving bits of metal for scavengers and looters was problematic. For a while, costume replicas comprised entirely of flammable materials were used, but by the 5550s Slayer Dragons were wrapped in simple linens like everyone else bound for the pits.
