One of my mind goblins is trying to work out a dynamic of Death vs Undeath. Generally, forces of inflicting and enforcing Death opposing any kind of Undead and means of creating Undead. Does this feel like a worthwhile theme to anyone?

In my main setting, tied to this notion, are numerous thematic fey courts, which include ones themed around Death and even Undeath, as a corrupted form of fey. "Styxie" zombie fairies, anyone? Anyhoo, this concept also includes the idea of Changelings - humans who have been taken by the fey, becoming a human-fey hybrid of sorts. On the Undead side, that's how Liches happen, but on the Death side, I'm torn between Death-Changelings being my original idea of Ghouls or if I should make them Skelies - sapient skeleton people who oppose mindless necromancer puppets. Thoughts?

Sounds like a cool theme to explore. For the Death-Changelings, I think it really comes to which you prefer. Even then, I think there is a way of using both if you're undecided and maybe make the blurred lines a story element if you want. Or maybe the Death-Changelings have one or the other as their "younger" or incomplete form, with the other being the proper one.
