If no one else knows how to do the northside without killing any guards I'll go.
First if you have no 300 lockpicking rogue, you need the Inner key which you can loot on the first guard so get in, kill him get the key and reset the instance.
Then you need to get the key in the chest of the second guard so avoid the first, grab the key and use it on the big door.
For the next guard you have to fix a trap, which requires 1x frost oil and 1x thorium widget. Just wait for the guard to go away, go fix the trap and run back. You have to kill the standing guys in gront of you first (2 warlocks and their minions).
For the last guard, you need the Gordok Ogre Suit, which you can have with the goblin at the right of the trap. You need 8x rugged leather, 4x bolt of runecloth, 2x rune thread and 1x ogre tannin you can loot on the platform between the two stairways just after the trap. If you find the shackles key, you can free the goblin and he'll leave a chest with a blue recipe/plan in it. Be sure to get the suit before releasing him. You can also get a pattern for the suit which divides by 2 the amount of each component required but I dunno if the goblin gives it or if it's a random drop in the chest he leaves. Anyways, go up, use the inner door key (or use rogue) and clear the path to the commander, then somebody uses the gordok ogre suit and go talk to him, he will leave.
Then you can go kill the boss, the best is to offtank the observer and kill the king first because as soon as the king dies the observer becomes friendly. Once the king is dead, talk to the ogre who comes here and he'll make you king of the gordoks ! You can run back and talk to the guards they'll buff you and the drunken will sell alcohols.
On a side note, the bosses have good drops so you can go and kill them all.
