What happened up there?

Head northwest from Maladaar's position, up the highest hill of the area. Up top in the center of the area, find Exarch Othaar:

This concludes the "The Pursuit of Justice" portion of As I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Moon. However, Exarch Naielle offers one last quest, Friend of the Exarchs to gain a Garrison Follower.

The Shadowmoon Valley storyline continues with Into Twilight and The Southern Wilds, both picked up on conclusion of Shadows Awaken back at the Teluuna Observatory. The Southern Wilds is closer, but is a side chain.
