Spirit guardian

A spirit guardian is a traditional role of a person in a cold-age dwarvish clan who oversees the Dwarvish funeral ceremony when a person dies. They hold all Spirit amulets of deceased people who don't have a spirit-bond. This includes all amulets of all deceased people of the past 20 generations.
Besides that, they are responsible for tending the flowers in the area, as flowers are seen as a form of reincarnation of spirits. Since they are expert tenders of flowers, they often also help out with tending crops and gathering other growing foods.
Spirit guardians are forbidden to hunt or fight. As they are the keeper of spirits, and should never willingly send spirits away from this realm to the spirit realm.

If have accumulated enough knowledge and skill, they can attempt the hardest part: learn to be a good listener, comforter and community pillar in hard times.
