Thal'dranath was originally conceived as a large island located to the southeast of the Broken Shore, which was to be featured in post-launch content for Legion. It was planned to be an area dotted with ancient night elf ruins with a heavy Burning Legion presence, but was scrapped during development in favor of more interesting ideas, as the team felt the theme was already adequately explored in other zones on the Broken Isles.Its name was later repurposed as the original Darnassian name for the Broken Shore.
The Broken Shore was once a portion of the city of Suramar, and the location of the Temple of Elune. During the Sundering, it sank under the sea.
Millennia later, Aegwynn hid at least two artifacts and imprisoned many demons and the Avatar of Sargeras in the old temple, forever renaming it the Tomb of Sargeras.
During the Second War, Gul'dan raised it from the bottom of the sea and opened the Tomb, only to be torn to shreds by the demons inside. Forces later sent by Ner'zhul recovered the Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras, to be used to open thousands of portals simultaneously across Draenor to escape the dying world and conquer other worlds than Azeroth. This lead to the world's destruction as the multitude of unstable portals caused the planet to crack apart.
During the Third War, Illidan Stormrage entered and recovered the Eye of Sargeras, and attempted to collapse part of the Temple on Maiev Shadowsong for attempting to stop him from destroying theLich King and trying to imprison him once more.
Some years later, after the war in Draenor, a Gul'dan from an alternate reality managed to open a portal within the Tomb of Sargeras, ushering in the largest invasion of Azeroth by the Burning Legion in history. Their ultimate goal was to finally summon the dark titan himself, Sargeras to Azeroth to usher in the defiant world's final destruction.
A massive army was sent by the forces of Azeroth to combat the Burning Legion, including but not limited to the Alliance, Horde, and the Argent Crusade.

Many of the greatest heroes in Azeroth, such as Tirion Fordring, Vol'jin, and Varian Wrynn, fell in battle before the Legion or were mortally wounded. Some escaped, others went missing or were captured, but many more died upon the Broken Shore.
