It seems like it's a play on words for "the porcelain throne" since the quest deals with Blackrock Orcs, it's the Iron throne. The NPC Ga'nar's "job" closely resembles that of The Poopsmith from the Homestarrunner and Strongbad web series.

This quest requires you to go inside a nearby building to kill Overseer Gotrigg. The title of the quest is a reference both to the 'porcelain throne' aka toilet, and the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones.

Looks like Ga'nar is doing our complementary Poop quest for us this Expansion.

Comment by Eilonthay

Upon accepting the quest:

Ga'nar says: Just get me free, stranger. I could kill a hundred of these pigs with this shovel alone.

Overlord Gotrigg is in the nearest building to Ga'nar, downstairs, by himself. There might be a couple of guards outside, depending on whether or not a fellow adventurer has already come through there. And Gotrigg is not happy to see you:

Overseer Gotrigg yells: Interrupting cretins! I'll sear that pretty armor right into your skin!

His name reminds me of Eitrigg, who also happens to be from the Blackrock Clan, before he became friends with Highlord Tirion Fordring and started hanging out in Orgrimmar with Thrall. I wonder if it's a family member.

Next quest - The Prodigal Frostwolf.

Firstly we knew for a long time, that gated intro quests such as wod and legion would become virtual ghost towns, add into the mix the level scaling and increased damage dished out by mobs and their increased health it was only a matter of time, before you either forced to delete your 90 or pay the 60 euros for the boost token because its practically impossible to complete this quest solo due to the overpowered and impossible to beat mechanics this mob now has. Its not just increased health its the increased rate and the amount of fire damage this mob does, there is simply no way to mitigate it. you kick him in the teeth, 2 seconds later your on fire and your kick cd is still ticking down to use again, or any interrupt...no sooner have you used it, your dead on the floor because he has immediately cast it by ignoring the interrupt. No amount of damage you can do to this mob now in 7.3.5 will be enough to bring it down solo.
That was the point though wasnt it? i mean they deliberately gated this intro cap, knowing that fewer and fewer go through the dark portal because they can just boost past it.
However if your here wondering how the hell you kill this mob now, you dont need to. Just go back to MOP or CATA and stay there until 92. Then visit timeless isle, go into the cave, sit on throne click the fire and it autmatically teleports you directly to the starting area of gorond in wod. This means you dont need to bother with the garrison, as long as you have wod pathfinder flying you can just get on and do the quests there. Thus avoiding the stuck on a mob because there is no one around and likely not to be for a while because most people dont bother with this crap hole anymore.
