Actually, SG Ermor does have an unholy troop: The Wailing Lady. Granted, they are expensive to summon and not worth the gems it costs, but you get them as freespawns in temple provinces. Not very often, but then, you don't need a lot of them at any given time. If you manage to slap a squad of ten to fifteen together, they make a very formidable core to build a battle group of ghosts and secondary fodder around. They have an area death attack (Wail, dmg death, aoe 1) which has a secondary Fear effect with an aoe of 5. They will simply scythe through low to mid-level summons and mundane troops of almost any stripe.
Granted, they are not plentiful enough to actually justify a blessing strategy, but even with a partial blessing (no lv 9 effects), they are a nice bonus.

True. Wailing Ladies are available for summoning for both Ermor themes and can turn up by themselves. However, as you note, they seldom do so in numbers that justify a blessing strategy in the long run, and you are not going to have any in the short run, so they can conveniently be ignored when discussing unholy troops for the Ermor themes.
Personally, I like to gather Ghost and Wailing Lady freespawn in my capital until I have enough of them to unleash an entire army of these dreaded beings.
I must admit that I would use Wailing Ladies more if they had a different colour.
Ghosts are nice because, being white, they stand out in the garrison list at a glance: You can see immediately whether there are any ghosts to collect and can easily doubleclick on one of them to select the whole bunch. Since Wailing Ladies are black, I find them much harder to select when there are a hundred garrison freespawn or so. It would be much easier if they were, say, green, red, or white.
