In the Introduction to Glorantha there there is a of all the possible Chaotic Creaturen from the Chreaturebook who may have Chaotic Features. Only the Ghoul and the Vampire are listed here, and the Vampire has no Chaotic Features at all. So I think that there is only a weak ling beetween Undeat and Chaos. The Cult of Vivamort has a link with Chaos, but Vivamort was an independent God in the Beginning and as I see it was forsed by the devil to join his ranks, and if anybody would offer him the opportunity to leave the reign of Chaos, he would do so.
