“Ululutek does not favor those who keep the dead under their own power. The Lord of Death does not look kindly upon those who steal from his own domain.”
– Book of the Necromant
***
Ululutek appears to be a tall slender human male with the face of an owl. His skin is jet black and he is entirely devoid of body hair. He carries a bronze scimitar and a spell pouch.
Ululutek has dominion over all the dead, a power he seems to regard as a great responsibility. It does not appear that Ululutek seeks to cause death, at least not by any direct means, but those who die are immediately delivered into his care.
The Lord of Death appears to regard intelligent undead with a degree of patience. He regards the reluctance of ghosts and similar creatures to pass on with grace much as a father might look upon the behavior of a prodigal child. In time, they will all come to him. He knows this. Ululutek seems to regard Royal Mummies with a degree of blessing, however, but this is only when they are interred with substantial offerings in his honor. Ululutek will happily keep a Royal Mummy safe in their tombs, but the Lord of Death waits patiently for all other undead to accept their lot and grant him control over their fate.

Religion: The Priesthood of Ululutek is large and well organized. It is centered in a desert kingdom within the Sunrise Islands, butits priests may be found in both the Sunset Islands and the Wisdom Islands. Followers of Ululutek seek always to promote respect and reverence for their lord and his domain, often creating great temples in his honor. Wherever the cult of Ululutek is strong, the rituals of burial are sure to be elaborate, expensive, and terribly solemn.
Gossip and fear mongering aside, the cult of Death is not is not particularly malevolent, but its members can be rather cold.
