: Actually, Soulblighter did a bit more damage to the West
: than Balor did, and much more quickly. Over 17 years
: of the War in the West, Scales, Covenant, Tyr, and
: finally Madrigal fell, but Tandem never fell at all.
: Soulblighter, on the other hand, demolished all of
: them in a few months, and Tandem shortly thereafter.
: Of course, as the narrator says, the armies of the
: west were softened by 60 years of peace, and when you
: take into account that Balor LITERALLY razed over half
: the continent, populated with the greatest empire ever
: known, then yeah, Balor was the bigger baddy..
And the armies weren't just softened--they were drastically depleted. There were a lot fewer people in the West than there had been when Balor started his attack.
