You'll get The Wall Between Us or What We Left Behind depending on your faction.
Besides of the [item=211873] mount and [spell=430283] transmog, Reclamation of Gilneas achievement and [item=211788] toy are granted aswel after finishing the entire questline.
It doesn't matter race or faction, log out then come back online after finishing the entire questline. You'll have the toy in your Toy Box, but is usable for Worgens only.

If you are on The Wall Between Us, Lilian and Queen Calia in Pyrewood Village are having a conversation.


Calia Menethil says: Thank you for your assistance, Funkowah. I know I asked much of you in aiding the Gilneans.
Calia Menethil says: I only hope that Tess continues to prove more... diplomatic than her father.
Lilian Voss says: I know her well. She cares far more about what people do than what they are.
Lilian Voss says: Still, it's probably best if we give the Gilneans some space for the time being. Let them enjoy their homecoming.
Calia Menethil says: As they allowed the Forsaken to do, not too long ago. We've kept our word. It's time we returned home as well.

If you are on What We Left Behind, Greymane asks for some time, as he needs to visit somewhere, and Tess asks us to check on him in What We Left Behind. Turns out, Greymane is visiting Liam Greymane's tomb to talk to his son and his regrets on building the wall.


Genn Greymane says: I don't know if you would recognize me, Liam.
Genn Greymane says: All these years, the lessons I have learned. The Alliance has always offered an outstretched hand.
Genn Greymane says: There are days it feels right, and days I wonder... what if I had not built that wall?
Genn Greymane says: Would Lordaeron still stand? Would you still be...
Genn Greymane says: Ah, but listen to me. The ruminations of an old man.
Genn Greymane says: You did not live long enough to regret as I do.
Genn Greymane says: Your sister will lead the kingdom, now.
Genn Greymane says: No one could be more proud of her than your mother and I. Except perhaps you.
Genn Greymane says: Rest well, my son. Gilneas is in the best of hands.

I saw this mount in the 20th anniversary mount mania and wanted to get it for myself. I had done none of the quests leading up to it.
It took approximately 10 minutes to complete and get the mount. Time well spent!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

    He just... handed me the kingdom. Me! This is going to take a bit to process. But... look, <name>. I know my father's a strong man, but there are times he holds himself so rigid that I fear he'll break. I'm not about to coddle him, but if you could just follow along, make sure he's all right?
