"Whatever you do, don't claim that your character was born and raised in Kalimdor -- humans didn't even know that Kalimdor existed until a few years ago, and modern human settlements there, such as Theramore, were only founded recently."

I somewhat disagree ... maybe your character could've been born into pirates or the Wastewander tribe in Tanaris. I don't rememer proof that human pirates or the Wastewanders weren't in Kalimdor a couple decades ago, and they could easily have no contact the human kingdoms.

I wouldn't mind a light retcon to human that would make it "humans have not heard about Kalimdor until a few years ago" to "rough waters have discouraged humans from going to Kalimdor until recently". It's embarrising for the Kul Tiras to be the great human sailors that don't know about AN ENTIRE CONTINENT. Azshara can be blamed for the ocean being almost unnavigable (Ocean voyages with wooden ships are tough enough without magic bleeping up things anyway). Also, how could Anduin Lothar call himself, "the Lion of Azeroth" if there are no native lions in the Eastern Kingdoms? Humans had to learn of the existence of lions somenhow.
