The actual quote is, "One of Soublighter's most successful experiments with reanimation, it is hardly surprising that he has brought more of them along this time." So Soulblighter did know how to resurrect the dead in TFL. I think that, in general terms, every Fallen Lord knew how to create every undead unit; different Lords simply had different specialties. And I don't think ghasts are a less successful experiment than thrall or soulless; they just have a different purpose. (Against a melee force, a group of ghasts is as or more effective than an equinumerous group of thrall.) Thrall are tougher and do more damage because their maker has spent the time and energy to provide each of them with armor and an ax following reanimation; ghasts jump out of the ground and attack as soon as they're created. Soulblighter and the Baron wanted to raise a force of undead to harass and abduct civilians as soon as possible; it wasn't worth forming an army of thrall when they could just snap their fingers and turn the villagers' own dead against them.
