Well I'm not sworn, not yet, that is, but why is it, that to be sworn, you must play as undead? There are at least two (possibly 3 or more) examples, where it isn't the case. Let's count, shall we? 1. Almira, the Succubus - yes, she's a demon of sorts, but pretty much alive 2. Sadha, the Red Princess - she's at no point in the game undead 3. Possibly Lord Linder Kemm - he doesn't appear undead, when you meet him first in the Magisters barracs, nor is he, when you fight him in his vault to protect Lord Arhu. And yes, he's definitely sworn, as Windego revealed And of course, there's Windego, the witch - yes, after you fight her for the first time, she'll become undead, but thanks to your actions, when she's on board the Merryweather, she's alive and already sworn There might be even more, that I've overlooked, or forgot about. So why is there that requirement to be undead? Why?

Maybe because all eternals kinda undead : Fane, his wife, pseudo Dallis, Raan, all voidwoken(?) and God King. So the one of the requirements is to be just like them. They all immortal and best slaves for God King are the one who can serve him forever and ever.

Well the Voidwoken are a thing, but they are basically voidified (voidformed?) Eternals. Also they COME from the Void, while the servants or rather Sworn don't need to be Eternals, nor originating in the Void itself. Take Windego, she was Sworn alive, not an Eternal at all, a Sourcerer like us and that wasn't any sort of problem for the God King. She still can serve him after her death, after we Slane her (I know it's slain, but meh XD), so if she can be undeadified (now that's a word), why not the main protagonist? I'm pretty sure being a Godwoken wouldn't pose any obstacle, would it? There's no reason it would, or even should.

God King choses undead as his sworn so they would serve him forever in their unlife. Demons, as succubus, would also fit in this category. Where souls of mortal sworns go after their death we don't know for sure, maybe they go to their respective gods, so undead slaves is 100% foolproof variant.

Sworn surely don't go to their respective gods after their death, I think it works the way, that when you swear to the Covenant, you severe every connection to your god and are sworn to the God King only from that moment, that's the catch with Windego, my party killed her and her soul didn't reach any god (either Rhalic, or Amadia, I guess), but the God King claimed her for himself. I don't see, how he couldn't be able to do the same with the Godwoken, once sworn, the God King is your only deity. Unless you break the oath with the Swornbreaker, like Almira and others did. Which can also be the case with undead by the way.
