But what the King did not realize is that the dwarves did not trust one another . When Varian sought the help from the Council of Three Hammers , both Muradin and Falstad declined to offer aid in Ironforge ’ s defense for they feared that if they left to fight the Frostmane trolls , the Dark Irons would take advantage of their absence to defeat the remaining clan and take over Ironforge . Frustrated , Varian argued that if no one would help , then Ironforge will fall under siege . Only Moira offered aid , stating that the Dark Irons will prove their loyalty to the Council , Ironforge , and the Alliance in the defense of Ironforge .
