Grim Batol Guide

30-second TL;DR

Adventure Guide says

Don't be fooled by Grim Batol's humble exterior; many of this mountain fortress's desecrated chambers are buried deep in the Twilight Highlands.
Once the stronghold of the Wildhammer dwarves, and later seized by orcs as a prison for Alextrasza, the city is now in the clutches of the Twilight's Hammer cult.
The Adventure Guide lists 4 encounters: General Umbriss, Drahga Shadowburner, Erudax, the Duke of Below, Forgemaster Throngus.
