Need an advice for an alternative version of Erandis (hope this is not against the rules)...

Okay I am one of the DMs/players in a guild system game, custom world where the primordial gods created it. Said world is fairly new too (1.5k years max) In my first plot I introduced a necromancer who was imprisoned and wanted the party's help to become a lich, said necromancer is actually an alternative version of Erandis Vol, who lived, but lost her dragonmark she is still someone with questionable choices, but hasn't killed any innocent. (And even if she does, so did the players, so they don't really have any moral ground to say anything...)

Let me give some context: currently the gods left the world and that is setting people (even one of the players/fellow DM) to try to achieve godhood (I should note that this is a mixed setting, so while we have things from Eberron such as the dragonmarks, normal Forgotten realms stuff are present). Now I know I am taking **maaaany** creative liberties here, but after successfully becoming a lich, Erandis felt her mark to """awaken""" but still it is nothing compared to how the original mark was supposed to be, still the fact that she discovered that she could, possibly reawaken her mark has ignited a new ambition on her. Currently she plans artificially making a new body for herself and transfer her soul to said body, but she will only do so after she is sure that such body has awakened the same mark her original body had.

Nooow, here comes the true question (also sorry for the long rant, thank you for reading until here), I read that Erandis' mark was an Apex version of the mark of Death, that we have no canon answer to what she would do if it reawakened, however, if she did reawaken and used it to ascend to godhood, what type of goddess would she be? A goddess of the dead like Kelemvor? A goddess death? A goddess of undeath? Maybe even create a plane of existence for all the dead to rest?

If anything makes no sense I can try to explain better in the comments.
