One thing is certain. We now possess an item of great value to the Iron Horde.
We had better secure this... "Heart of Gorgorek" at once.

Apparently after completing this quest, a large chest appears in the center of your garrison, there is a screen shot of this on the horde's version of the quest on wowhead.
I'm alliance and I don't see it appearing at my garrison anywhere. I tried logging in and out and leaving my garrison and coming back.
Just to make it clear where to turn in the quest, go into the big tree in the Garrison where the druid's are. NPC is in there.
After completing the Garrison Weekly, you can find Thisalee, Choluna, and the other Druids of the Talon, standing on a ledge overlooking Gorgorek, the Breaker, turned to stone.
I suspect it's these petrified Gronn & Gorgron who are "The Sleepers", and I bet someone has a plan to waken them...

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
Our druids set up a wide network of scouts to follow up on your intel from Nagrand. We've identified a suspicious Iron Horde excavation near some salt pools on the western coast of Gorgrond. We have reason to believe that these orcs are pursuing a valuable artifact deep in the desert.
