Best known for their deadly blademasters, the Burning Blade fought in the First and Second Wars as part of the Old Horde, but eventually consumed itself in demonic corruption.

The proud blademasters swore to free themselves and their brethren from demonic control and joined the New Horde in the service of Warchief Thrall.

Another part of the Burning Blade remained loyal to the Burning Legion, transforming into a powerful, demon-worshiping cult under the rule of the sinister Shadow Council.

In the modern day, some blademasters continue to serve the New Horde, while the Burning Blade cult remains a significant threat to the Horde throughout Durotar, the Northern Barrens and Desolace.
