The first storyline follows a human who washes up unconscious on the shores of Kalimdor, a continent in the game. He's suffered amnesia and becomes enslaved by an orc shaman. The mystery man struggles to survive by fighting against and working with both in-game factions the Alliance and the Horde, all while trying to learn about his forgotten past. (One of the central stories is his story arc: who is he, how can he find out who he is . and what are the implications for the '˜Warcraft' world?) Simsonson said.The writer also revealed a few other supporting characters, such as the orc shaman Rehgar Earthfury (first seen on the fourth page), blood elf Valeera Sanguinar, dwarf warrior Thargas Anvilmar and night elf druid Broll Bearmantle. All of these characters are upcoming action figures from DC Direct. (When the comic began to develop, these characters were made available to us,) Simonson explained. (Rehgar's in there for several issues. He doesn't have as big a story arc as Broll and Valeera, at least at the moment. Thargas Anvilmar is not in the first few issues, but he comes up later in the story. The story's still developing as we're going along, but we have an overall outline for everything.)
