: The Thrall weren't bound to the Baron; after the Baron
: was killed they came after the Legion (see Gonen's
: Bridge). They were bound to Soulblighter. Only the
: Stygs were bound to the Baron.
: Those thousand thrall were nothing. They were sent to

: Not until he had the Myrkridia did he actually go

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Balor was a far more destructive
being than Soulblighter ever could have been. Look at it this way:
Balor created Soulblighter, Shiver, The Watcher, The Deceiver and
the bulk of his and their armies. Without Balor, Soublighter would
not have even existed. Also, when you look at the level 'A Murder
of Crows', how stupid is Soulblighter to leave the Deceiver guarded
by a paltry pack of ghols, stygian knights and a few mauls and soulless?
If I were Soublighter, I would have killed Myrdred when I caught him?
After all, didn't Soublighter send an army to kill The Deceiver anyway
on the level 'The Deceiver?" Also, The only Fallen Lords that Damas had
were Shiver, and The Summoner, who isn't really a fallen lord, but still
a formidable opponent. And shouldn't Soublighter have taken a larger army
to defend Balors head at the Great Devoid, father than some Soulless
and Fetch, and of couse Wights? I would have taken a Trow or two. But,
that is all I have to say.
