Prince of Death, Master of the Undead
Born Udarak (OO-darh-Ack) Kithslain he was considered by the gods to be an aberration of nature, Udarak the Prince of Death was not born of gods. He is the child of the unholy union between Gishra and the violence that is Chaos and Negative energy. He was ripped from her womb by unnatural forces (who attributed to being the dark forces of Azahak) in mid-pregnancy and thus was not born a god.
As a mortal he was raised by priests and priestess of Azahak, taught all that was evil and rose quickly in he ranks of the Church of Decay. Dissatisfied, he severed ties with the church in search of a darker place from which to worship. He took great interest in the creation of the undead and forged into these dark practices. After many years of research and opening himself to chaos and negative energy, Udarak Kithslain transformed himself into the first known Yaqu.
As this undead creature of power he sought after creating his own church based on the believes and hertical sayings against the gods. This ultimately leads to the destruction of the city of Xilathor by Gishra as she attempted to destroy Udarak the Abomination, the teachings of necromancy and the Laws of Undeath, all of which she views as a distortion to the natural order of things.
Udarak did not stay gone forever, and rose as a demigod of death, the undead and necromancy in the world as he summoned forth the avatar of Azahak and demanded his rightful place as a god be granted to him. In 300 SR, his newly formed church set events in motion that granted him the power of a greater god.
Dogma
Death comes to all things and it is the end, then there is the life everlasting of undeath. The shackles of a mortal shell no longer bind you and you are truly free. It is to us that we liberate the world from their mortal shell so that they maybe free. Do this in rememberance that only the living live restrained
Tenets
"Death is not the end." All those that follow the teachings of the Prince of Death, truly believe that undeath is the greatest accomplishment they can attain while in the service of this corrupt god. They all strive to attain and spread undeath increasing their lords power over the natural order of all things.

1) The murder of living things is necessary
