Well, this will be an interesting topic to discuss!
What do the Undead Value & Believe in the most?
Value only themselves? Believe that "all living must die or convert"? Do they have any kind of principles and organization?
Let's see what you think on this topic!

The Lich are known as the first living dead, and they are also the wisest living dead.
Each Lich specializes in one type of knowledge.
When the living dead need advice or knowledge, it is almost certain that the only ones who know are the Lich, of course there is a price to be paid for knowledge.
As I said before there can be multiple "Undead factions", and I think that it's important that the "Playable Undead Faction" doesn't look like the main antagonist (same for Infernal Demons), so I would avoid the "All living must die" and things like that, at least for the playable Undead.
I see 2 options
1. No Gods: They were "punished" by some Deities with bad temperament, so they think that Deities don't care for anyone but theirselves
2. Vengeance: They can "work" with a Deity or entity that seeks vengeance from the Old God's, so Undead made a deal, like "win-win". So they will seek vengeance together.
No matter if option 1 or 2 was chosen, I think Undead must try hard to demonstrate that they can be better than humans, being honorable, proud, humble, etc, despite their appareance.
Also I think this can be different depending on if you're going to make Undead from all races like several people asked in the Race discussions.
Maybe some can keep their beliefs, some others don't.
And sure there must be an organization that takes care of searching and helping new Undead over the world, helping them to escape and showing them that they aren't alone.
