The 7th Legion was once regarded as the forefront of Alliance military power until it was perverted by King Varian Wrynn over the three year Alliance-Horde War. They were considered the elite of the Alliance who fought on the forefront in the Ahn'Qiraj War, Scourge War, War against Deathwing and most recently the Alliance-Horde war. Their closest Horde equilivent are the elite Kor'kron Guard who have fought in many similar wars.
After Varian Wrynn returned to the throne he begun pushing many loyalists and sycophants to the upper ranks of the 7th Legion, allowing greater control. Its leader, Halford Wyrmbane, was a man loyal to the Throne and Crown. While he did not want to see the Alliance pulled apart like Varian was doing he would choose loyalty and duty over feelings, giving Varian a 7th Legion loyal to the idea of a True Alliance. They served as the primary military force of the Alliance during the Krasarang Wilds war field and in Battlefield: Westfall when dealing with the insurection of Westfall's people against the exploition of their land by the 7th Legion. Most of its leaders, including Wyrmbane, Rogers and Taylor, would die over the course of this civil war.
The history of the 7th Legion would close after the Siege of Stormwind, many of its original members such as Highlord Leoric Von Zeldig, Lynore Windstryke and Duke August Foehammer would go on to lead the successor 8th Legion.
Escalation
After the death of Neltharion over the Maelstrom King Varian Wrynn had an extensive resource stripping over Westfall, a land relatively resource rich in ore and farmlands. Initially this saw a boom in buisness for the locals however over time various forces of the 7th Legion would take control over various regions of Westfall and drive the locals out, giving the work instead to those of their own fold or cheap contractors such as the Sparkplugg Company. The 7th Legion are guarding these bases and their Commanders, eight in total, are all over the region directing the efforts to quash the rebellion. These commanders are highly skilled and experienced in fighting powerful opponents as they are former Adventurers themselves.
The locals grew outraged at the plunder of their lands, and these outcries were heard by other elements in the Alliance. Prince Anduin Wrynn had secretly returned to the Eastern Kingdoms and came to Westfall, secretly helping and hiding his identity. When Tyrande Whisperwind, Jaina Proudmoore and the Paragon arrived to meet with Gryan Stoutmantle Anduin revealed himself and assured them he was against his father. He had come to the sad conclusion that his father must be removed, however he still had friends in Stormwind and they sent him word that the 7th Legion were masssing an attack on Sentinel Hill to quash the growing rebellion. The assault was led by Gryphon Commander Urik however the 7th Legion were not able to take Sentinel Hill, with reinforcements coming from the form of Night Elves and Theramore Marines arriving to back the Sentinel Hill Rebellion.
However not all the Alliance reinforcements made landfall, as the 7th Fleet was able to intercept a part of the night elf fleet and take many prisoners including Shandris Feathermoon who was left in the care of Inquisitor Hallard. The 7th Fleet would set up a blockade over the seas outside of Stormwind to prevent any more forces from coming in, cutting off reinforcements, however they were blindsided by a surge of the Horde's navy led by Warchief Hellscream in the Battle on the High Seas, where the Horde sunk the rear 7th Fleet. Vol'jin and the Horde's Champion would infiltrate Elwynn and discover the prison camp, freeing Shandris as a way to get a meeting with Tyrande and killing the camp's leader Vas the Unstable. There Vol'jin and Tyrande would strike an uneasy bargain to work together to besiege Stormwind as well as have the Horde help the rebellion. Hellscream was not pleased with the idea of making peace on such terms but would agree that the Horde was bleeding and needed peace to recover.

Successor force to the disbanded 7th Legion following the Siege of Stormwind, the 8th Legion was formed to replace the force that had become the personal force of the fallen king Varian. Under the command of Lynore Windstryke, veteran of the Ahn'Qiraj War and the War against the Lich King, the force has pledged to protect all member races of the Alliance. Their forces would go on to fight at Broken Shore during the Third invasion of the Burning Legion and would go on to be an essential force during the Blood War against the Horde and the second Scourge war.
