TheWoWDBIf you complete the quest before reading Maladaar's situation, you can't go back afterwards. A nice GM transcribed it for me when I put in a ticket in case anyone else missed out.
What's the situation?
"Our siege began the moment you took the boats. It looked like it would be a long battle until a large part of their forces departed suddenly, most likely when you attacked from the east.
Then we hit them with everything. Thaelin brought in a massive powered ram and the gates fell quickly. Then we ran into this new foe... the fel orcs. They press us sorely and we can make no headway. I hope you are having better luck in the east."

Description
Our base is barely built and already the Iron Horde sets up defenses against us. Still the plan worked and we fight on two fronts. I have received word that Exarch Maladaar has finally breached the western gates as well, but is bogged down in a pitched battle. You should go see the situation for yourself.
