During the Iron Dock quest chain,
you notice that this NPC mentions why buildings should have spikes.Considering that Solog is a major Architect/Engineer during this timeline, is this the NPC responsible for outfitting every Horde building with spikes? I can't tell you the number of times Alliance was saved from a knockback off a Tower in PvP.
Do not waste your time looking around for the grappling hook near where you are when you're told to find it. it's WAYY down the dock to the west. To get an idea of what you're looking for, the screenshot posted on this page is good.

Description
I can build you a shipyard. And not some wasteful piece of over-engineering like this place. But I'm going to need my blueprints. My work was confiscated when Gul'dan turned this harbor over to Admiral Knar. <Roark spits.> Gul'dan's green poison courses through Knar's veins. He's calling the shots from on high. We'll need to grapple up there to take him out.
