This activates a hitching post near the portal to Dalaran from Acherus. Interacting with the hitching post grants you Reins of the Deathcharger.

The Reins last for up to 1 hour after you add them to your inventory, after which the item will disappear. The Reins are reusable during this time. You will not be automatically dismounted if you are riding it when the timer runs out.
Prior to completing the Campaign, the horse summoned by the Reins resembles an Acherus Deathcharger, the black-armored, blue-hooved horse that all DKs get; following the Campaign, the mount will instead randomly select one of the Four Horsemens' mounts each time it is summoned. Don't expect it to fly any time soon.
You will not be dismounted if you are Dazed while riding the Deathcharger summoned by this effect. You may attack, cast spells, craft profession items or gather from nodes without dismounting. However, you will be dismounted if you step indoors, and you cannot mount it if you are already in combat.
You can't summon the Deathcharger outside the Broken Isles mainland, not even in Acherus... but you can mount in the Broken Isles and then teleport to Acherus without dismounting.
The hitching post is basically a chest that can only be looted once per day (so don't delete the Reins, cuz you can't loot it again today!).

If you "open" the hitching post but don't take the reins, the Postmaster will mail them to you. By doing this you can collect the reins for later as they stay in your mailbox and the duration doesn't start to expire until they're in your inventory.

The duration of the item in your bag does not count down while you're logged out. Also, if you get one and still have it when the servers reset for the day, you don't lose the first one. The item itself is unique, but this would still let you use one, and then go back when it expires and grab a second one. Which is nice if you're playing multiple characters, like myself. My DK can go out on a farming run for an hour, and then I can go play another toon. And, if I want to skip a day of farming, I can do it for two hours the next day.
