The Burning Legion was a vast army of Demons that inhabited the universe where they were chaotic beings native to the Twisting Nether. Long ago, the god-like Titans sought to bring order to the worlds of the Great Dark Beyond where they encountered the deadly threat posed by Demons. To combat this enemy, the charged their most noble and greatest champion Sargeras to ending this scourge on worlds. With his great power, he was able to attain victory after victory against the largely unorganised and incompetent Demons. However, he came to witness entire civilizations being turned to ash along with their inhabitants being turned into horrible abominations in the process. This led to the Titan Sargeras feeling a sense of hopelessness but he continued with his mission. It was eventually discovered that the Demons he had slain simply reformed in new bodies allowing them to continue their predations on the universe. Thus, the Titan Pantheon dispatched another of their number namely Aggramar to aid his comrade Sargeras. Together, the pair were more effective in combating the demonic threat thus allowing Sargeras time to study the nature of the Twisting Nether. He came to learnt to manipulate that realm's energies allowing him to craft a prison world named Mardum to serve as a jail for the defeated Demons thus preventing them from incarnating again upon death. This led to Sargeras and Aggramar splitting up to better fight their enemy as they continued to bring peace to the cosmos.
Thus, the Legion decided to embark on their next scheme on conquering the world to Azeroth. This saw the soul of the Orc Shaman Ner'zhul being twisted into becoming the Lich King and the disembodied spirit was sent crashing in the frozen lands of Northrend on Azeroth. Once there, he was set to establish an army of undead called the Scourge that would bring about the conquest of the lands. To ensure his cooperation, a group of Nathrezim Dreadlords was dispatched to keep an eye on him.

The Dreadlord Mal'ganis was primarily responsible for leading the efforts in spreading the plague with this attracting the attention of Arthas Menethil who was a Prince of Lordaeron.
With the ritual complete, Archimonde was summoned into Azeroth who then heralded the invasion of the planet. He commanded the Dreadlords take over the Scourge from the Lich King whilst the demonic armies began arriving in the lands to conquer them.
