Honoring a Hero

Travel to Uther's Tomb in Western Plaguelands and use Uther's Tribute at his statue, and then return to Wagner Hammerstrike outside Ironforge before the Harvest Festival is over.
Provided Item:
Uther's Tribute

Description

During the Harvest Festival of Azeroth, we give thanks to heroes for the sacrifices - in some cases ultimate sacrifices - they have given on our behalf. The Alliance acknowledges many heroes, but none weave a more tragic tale than that of Uther Lightbringer.

Help us honor Uther by taking this offering to his tomb in the Western Plaguelands. Place it at his statue, and then return to me. I'll only be here through the end of the festival, so waste no time in giving Uther his tribute.

Reward

You will receive:
For the Light!

Progress

Have you made the journey to Uther's Tomb and placed the tribute there?

It can be a dangerous trip for less experienced adventurers; a safer way of traveling there, relatively speaking, may be to travel north from the river that runs through Hillsbrad into the Plaguelands. It flows from a lake that is adjacent to Sorrow Hill; travel west up through the hills, steering clear of the adjacent tomb... one that is infested with the Scourge.

Completion

He was a hero among heroes, Uther was. I can't even begin to imagine the anguish of what he felt when Arthas - his greatest student and someone whom Uther loved like his own son - betrayed all of humanity. Still, he rose to try and stop Arthas, and for that he will be forever remembered as a true paladin. His fight was to the end, thinking only of those he might save.

Thank you, <name>. You've paid tribute to a great hero today, honoring his spirit and the spirit of the Harvest Festival.

A fellow named Wagner Hammerstrike is the quest giver. You can find him at the Gates of Ironforge (right where everyone duels) during the Harvest Festival. I was a level 58 Hunter when I picked this up. Uther's Tomb is at Western Plaguelands (52, 83). All you have to do is use Uther's Tribute in front of Uther's statue. You will probably notice the roses and steins in front of the statue which is what you leave behind for Uther from using the Tribute. I hearthed to Ironforge after I completed the objective and turned it in. I received an item named For the Light! which is a poem for Uther. Also 200 faction with Darnassus and Gnomeregan Exiles as well as 6600 XP. The quest was marked under the category of Seasonal.

I did this quest at level 30 easily. It is easily doable at lower levels. From Southshore run north through Alterac. You may pass some Ogres, but at 30 you should be able to survive running through their area easily. Go north into the Western Plaguelands, you will not encounter any mobs on the way to the flight path. Grab the flight path and run east. You will come to a town of undead. Usually there are a lot of alliance farming here so hopefully they will keep the undead busy when you run to the tomb. If not use whatever evasion/immunity technique you have to make it to the tomb. If you die the graveyard is fortunately not far. Once you make the tribute hearth out and return to the quest giver for the book and a lot of XP.

At this time this particular quest will be attainable but uncompletable by both Blood Elf and Draenei. The quest has not yet been updated by Blizzard to include the new races. According to a GM this is a known issue and will hopefully be resolved soon.

As you stand by Uther's Tomb you will notice lights and other things in front of the statue. I couldn't help thinking that those were racial gifts, so to say:

Tankards from dwarves
Candles from night elves (they look like the ones you see in elf houses)
The little blue thingies from draenai, dunno what they are
Roses possibly from humans
And something looking like an engineering contraption from gnomes

None of this is confirmed, it's just a little thought i got as I did the quest. Cute though, methinks.

Enjoy the Harvest Festival, ladies and gentlemen.

Actually, you're correct. If you check your combat log you can see yourself cast [Uther's &lt;race&gt; Tribute], which summons an object at your feet depending on which race you are.

Spells are as follows:

TomTom Users - 52.0 82.0 Western Plaugelands

non tomtom users - In Western Plaugelands, From Chillwind Point go north and Make the First Right Possible (on the road, very, very close to the Point you make this right, its a dirt road, not a main one) stick to that road untill you meet a fork in the road. Go south eastish... Where you see a building on your mini map and voila! your Uthers Tomb with extra Cheese, Nice and Hot! Just like you ordered.

once you get there just walk up to his statue, use the item and voila!

I just did this quest was hoping to increase my rep with Darnassus and Ironforge but my rep did not change at all, so it doesn't seem to be the case anymore that you get +500 rep with all alliance factions.
