Would you believe an undead's promise of happy afterlife?

If a Ghost King is running arounf as Pretender, quite possibly. And said undead can hide, I think: under heavy robes, it should be hard to figure out your good ole pastor is actually a Revenant. Of course, mindless undeads need not apply.

That, and being an undead can be good, so long as you get to choose *what* kind of undead you want to be; Immortality is certainly good enough for my tastes, and not aging isn't too bad either. That way, if your Pretender was kidding about that "afterlife where you shall get every kind of wonder you can mention", you will do just fine regardless.

Priests for Ashen Ermor will, of course, have a much tougher time doing anything looking remotely like preaching to the human populace.

Besides the underworld of Dominions doesn't strike me as a nice place. It almost feels like all those sentient undead creatures are strugling to get out of there.

Without naming any specific religions, many religious leaders seem pretty mindless to me: "Do what I say, go to heaven... Do what I say, go to heaven..."

I'm fond of Greater Othernesses, as they nicely compensate for R'lyeh's weakness in melee crunching, and being void summons don't cost upkeep.

(Yeah, they have Meteorite Guard, and Lobos; but the former are hideously expensive, and the latter unarmored, if memory serves.)
