Ah, that makes some sense. Although, again, if we see the Blight as this openly acknowledged threat that everyone is terrified (a point that I disagree with, incidentally. I'm inclined to think that there are a lot of people other than Loghain who see it as not that big a deal/really a legend/whatever, time being what is is), it's hard to see that none of them would be interested in offering assistance. I mean, even a small city state probably has a few troops that it can loan out if the attitude is "in the time of a Blight, it's all for one, and one for all!" (Again, I seriously doubt that this was the overall attitude...)
