     Their liege —, the Undoing,—was the last to convene. He was a being of unknown descent, but Rune believed he was lt least a demigod. Perhaps a full deity, even an overdeity.

     Are there equivalent overdeities in other settings such as Eberron or Grayhawk? Like a top dog who gets to decide if someone can be a god or not as one of their jobs.

     I generally assume that, whatever they are, you’re not going to face any problems with the local overdeities deciding you don’t belong and just noping you the moment you Jump in; whether that’s by power or negotiation is up to you.

     As I said overdeities don't require worship to survive, as such other Gods of Death can form without intruding, but they can't become a Overdeity of Death without somehow destroying the one currently there. As such they would more likely become another form of overdeity, assuming they get that far. And no Discord server as of yet, I might make one if the quest becomes more popular.
