Golden King
Don't let the saddle fool you, he's wild, not a tame lion.
Acquisition Guide
The Golden King is the Alliance guild mount, sold by a guild vendor for 
1,350 Gold to players who are Exalted with their guild (the discounted price reflects the Guild Level 24 perk).
Reach Guild Exalted Rank
You must be Exalted with your guild before the Golden King becomes available for purchase. Once bought, the mount is account-bound and can be mailed to any eligible character — you retain it even if you later leave the guild.
Purchase the Golden King
Buy the 
Golden King from your guild vendor for 1,350 Gold (reduced from 1,500 Gold by the Guild Level 24 perk). The gold goes to the vendor and does not enter the guild bank. The mount scales to your maximum riding speed automatically.
Tips
