Discrepancies

• Marin Noggenfogger says that Thrall "...named the city after his best friend. He named the continent after his dad." The namesake of Orgrimmar is Orgrim Doomhammer, who was one of Thrall's mentors. Grommash Hellscream, who would probably deserve the "best friend" title more, is the namesake of the city's fortress of Grommash Hold. More egregiously, Thrall's father Durotan is the namesake of the nation-state of Durotar, while the continent is Kalimdor.
• After agreeing to help repair Orgrimmar, Gazlowe recounts to Marin that Thrall was "The leader of the whole freakin' Horde" after the Siege of Orgrimmar. However, it was Vol'jin who was appointed Warchief following Garrosh's defeat. This is being conflated with a scene in The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm after the city burned down.
