==History==
Nagrand — orcish for "Land of Winds" — was formerly the seasonal homeland of the Frostwolf Orcs, and the meeting grounds of the orcish people, where the Kosh'harg celebrations were held twice every year.

At some point, the claimed Nagrand as their own territory, but they were faced with occasional ogre raids. One of these raids claimed the life of Golka, 's mate, which led the chieftain to become filled with regrets, until a certain individual from a different time showed up and convinced the chieftain to rise up against anything that would endanger his people.

Nowadays, Nagrand serves as the site of Iron Horde's crucial strongholds around Draenor: Grommashar, Lok-rath and Ironfist Harbor to name the few. Also the ogre Gorian Empire still holds much power here, and the magically gifted rules his people from his seat within the ancient city of Highmaul, although unfavorable political situation forced him to enter an alliance of convenience with the Iron Horde in order to ensure his dwindled empire's safety.
