I've heard this argument used time and time again. But those who use it are not seeing the whole picture.
When Balor attacked, it was against the civilised nations. Thousands of well ordered men, with their own cultures, armies, etc. Well built cities, well ordered methods of defense, etc. He had to establish a niche for himself somewhereo n the map, carve it out, and slowly advance from there, destroying oh so slowly the powerful empires opposing him.
Soulblighter attacked in a time of rebuilding. The population was way down from the fight against balor, so there was less to stand against him. Cities were still being rebuilt. Armies were not completely reorganised, people wanted a state of rest after the Great War. So he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the world, and attacked swiftly, defeating everything in his path with superior power.
