The halfling view on life is so gentle and optimistic that even their power of death is a being to be respected and revered, but never feared. Urogalan is seen as a protector of the dead, not as a judge, and he's pleased to play this role. Folks who die are usually buried in the soil, and Urgoalan embodies reverence for the earth itself (as opposed to what grows in the earth).

Fittingly, his realm is a cavern beneath the fields of Eronia. But it's not filled with petitioners, looking to merge with their power (Urogalan's not worshipped much by the halflings). Rather, the sods that inhabit Earthsoul are simply deaders waiting for Urogalan to assign to them to their proper places in the planes. It's not horrifying: it just is.
