I'm not sure if this a lorish discussion but I noticed that there isn't really a ruler/commander(s) of the Blight in Istaria, the mylocs have a queen, wouldn't the blight have a ruler they look up too? I mean in the Valor and Vigilance quest line Urgat controls the blight in NT but he can't be the only commander could he? I know theres Reklar and his a warlord but it doesn't seem like he would be the 'ruler' to me.
That would be Torrin.
Once upon a time, in a magical land called Istaria, humans sought knowledge of magic. Amongst those striving to learn and harness the energies in the realm, was a man called Torrin. And I can't remember the part that goes here. Something about hatred or something or other. But anyway, Torrin, in his pursuit of power, managed to tap into the realm of blight and summon forth the creatures of blight and necromancy. The said creatures he commaned, and ravaged Istaria, and thus started the war against the withered aegis.
Torrin is essentially the leader of all leaders of the withered aegis.
Torrin Macalir would be the "creator" after reneging on Niatha Moraven's Deal.

The NPC's on the crescent moon island in NT will tell the ages.
Ahhh that makes a hole lot of sense. :) Is he in the game as a npc or anything or is he just in the lore?
Don't know if he is currently in game in any quest or general spawn capacity. We're talking before The Ritual and afterwards to present day of the Empire.Quote:

Torrin Macalir created the Withered Aegis and commanded them, until he was killed by Ryson Stormbringer at the Battle of Tazoon. There is no current single leader that the Gifted know of, just lots of factions vying for control of the Cabal.
I have seen several quests referencing the "Lich King" not sure if that would refer to Torrin or not but they seem to imply that this figure is still alive.
