Undeath Domain

The patrons of undeath promote sickness and death through spreading curses and plagues, neglecting those in need, and summoning the forces of death and undeath. Almost any evil deity, archfiend, or demon lord can claim influence over this domain, particularly undeath deities, necromancy gods, plague gods/fiends/demons, and gods/fiends/demons of curses.
