Highmaul Guide

30-second TL;DR

Adventure Guide says

Highmaul is the seat of power for the Gorian Empire, the ogre civilization that ruled Draenor for generations, until the arrival of the draenei.
A massive city that belies the ogre reputation for brutish stupidity, Highmaul is full of bustling markets, wealthy nobles, and the roar of the Coliseum crowd echoing through the streets of the slums.
The Adventure Guide lists 7 encounters: The Butcher, Kargath Bladefist, Twin Ogron, Ko'ragh, Tectus, Brackenspore, Imperator Mar'gok.
