For some textual references, how about the Lightbringer's Quest?
On KoS p.85, Luatha obviously _believes_ that letting Orlanth into the
underworld will mean that he becomes dead. But the implication is that
she's wrong - like so many deities, she still has a fairly loose grasp on
this Death concept.
On the very next page, we get the following:
"Flesh Man was slain while in the Underworld. This was not a relief for
him, for he kept on the quest anyway, but now he was alone."
If he can be slain he must have been alive, I think? The bit about FM
being alone after being killed implies that he then had to go by the path
the dead take in the underworld, whereas the still living Lightbringers
blazed their own trail.
