She's not a soul-hungry this-side-of-evil deity. More like Hades - an indifferent jailer and manager of souls - making sure they get from point A to Point B and stay at point B. Also a bit of a control freak.The reason that the Raven Queen hates undeath is not necessarily because they disrupt the migration of souls. Ghosts, wights, etc certainly do, but the biggest reason that the RQ has a zero-tolerance policy towards undead: undead operate outside of fate.The RQ is also the Goddess of Fate. But destiny is tied to your soul. Once you die, and your soul is gone - that's all Destiny wrote. It says nothing about your body! So if your body gets up and goes to kill someone, Fate didn't see that coming. Fate has no control over the Undead. (Additionally, demons IMC work outside of fate too, hence why Orcus is such bad news for the RQ. But Orcus is not the focus of my campaign).Not to mention certain undead (particularly powerful ones) can eat souls, or spawn new undead. Thus further getting in her craw.</blockquote>
