A warrior with no memory washes up on the coast of Kalimdor and is thrown into the gladiator pits under the name Lo'Gosh. Fighting beside the blood elf rogue Valeera Sanguinar and the night elf druid Broll Bearmantle, he sets out to learn who he is, while far away in Stormwind, the boy-king Anduin's court has problems of its own.
What this adds if you've played the games
The first half of the story behind Varian Wrynn, the king who leads the Alliance through Wrath and Cataclysm, and it introduces Valeera and Broll, who turn up later in Stormrage and Hearthstone. Walter Simonson writes a straightforward adventure comic, light on deep lore and heavy on fights. Read Book One and Book Two together; the story only finishes in the second.
