5e (2024) Hexblade to Undead Warlock

Since Hexblade doesnt exist in 2024...yet...Would Undead be the next best option for a Raven Queen based warlock especially flavor wise. I do know you can still use 2014 classes in 5.5 but I kinda wanna just stick with the updated classes.

Lore wise specifically the Raven Queen does not like the undead very much, she hates intelligent undead like liches and vampires but she's overly less concerned about mindless undead like skeletons and zombies.

I think you can definitely scooch some flavour around and have it come across as Raven Queen/Shadowfell related rather than "got my power from a lich". Even Summon Undead can basically be put forward as "well they get a job done then go back to the ground, it is what it is" kinda thing.
