**Balor was the most powerful of the Fallen Lords and has the command/Leadership.Of course they acted by
: themselfes,but basically the obeyed Balor's
: (Leveler)orders.That didn't means that they were bound to Him under a magic spell.
: What Alric thought,was that if he could destroy Balor,the rest Fallen Lords would be be weaker,after loosing: their best Fighter/Mage.They would acted alone and with no strategy.Also,remember that Soulblighter could get Trow with his side!Only Balor could. So when Balor is the supreme Evil with powers beyond imagination(Just remember his sword and armour)and awesome allies such the Mighty Trow it's natural to join him and obey him. **
I have to disagree with you on several points. You're missing the argument.. The journal entry in the level The Road North reads:
"Alric was interrogated by Balor during his captivity, and he learned by chance that Balor had bound each of The Fallen to himself, to ensure their obedience to his will. The Fallen draw their power through these links, and were Balor to be killed they would all be powerless. The armies of the Dark would collapse."
This surely proves that Alric did actually believe that each of the Fallen Lords were bound to Balor. Alric did not think that the forces of Dark would fall because they lost their "best fighter/mage". Balor seldom left Rhiannon to attack the forces of light and thus his own combatal skill made little difference in the war.
Regarding the trow, again, Balor's powers meant absolutely nothing. The trow joined Balor because he had freed them from their prison of iron and they were honor bound to serve him. The trow refused to serve soulblighter, not because he was not powerful, but because they owed him nothing. The Myth II trow flavor text reads:
"...when Soulblighter confronted the Trow, demanding their continued servitude, they replied 'Set iron to rest and choose you one from our number. Ask of his name and what he owes you.'"
