> Is the Death rune part of the Duck creation myth in some way?

No. The ducks are inherently associated with Air, not Death. Some Lunar philosophers believe that Death is inevitably linked to Air, hence the so called Duck "connection to Death". The Jonstown LM temple, who likely know far more about this than the Lunars, hold that the Duck success against Delecti comes from three sources:

1. The Ducks worship Humakt (more than even other Orlanthi tribes) to defend them against the Unliving.
2. The Ducks are naturally aquatic and can easily hide from the Unliving.
3. The Ducks are too pathetic to get Delecti's attention.

> In terms of the wider Duck religion, how reliable is the MRQ book about Duck?

Not at all reliable.
