Honoring Uther at his grave
During the Harvest Festival of Azeroth, the Horde and the Alliance give thanks to heroes for the sacrifices - in some cases ultimate sacrifices - they have given on our behalf. In the the time of the Harvest Festival, a great buffet is built up outside of Ironforge and Orgrimmar.
The Alliance acknowledges many heroes, but none weave a more tragic tale than that of Uther Lightbringer. People can help to honor Uther by taking a offering to his tomb in the Western Plaguelands.
The Horde acknowledges also many heroes, but none exemplify strength and sacrifice more than Grom Hellscream. People can honor Grom by taking a offering to his monument in the Demon Fall Canyon of Ashenvale.
If someone paid tribute to one of those great heroes, honoring his spirit and the spirit of the Harvest Festival, he gets food, water and a Book as Reward.
[For the Light!] for members of the Alliance
[Grom's Tribute] for members of the Horde
Outside of Orgrimmar and Ironforge is set a table and wandering ghostly NPCs of the appropriate faction, fallen heroes, who cannot be interacted with. One can pick up Harvest Boar, Harvest Fish, and Harvest Fruit, unique (20) items that will restore 2% of total health per second over 25 seconds while eating. Mana users can pick up Harvest Nectar, unique (20), which will restore 2% of total mana per second over 30 seconds while drinking.
These foods can be fed to your (Hunter) pet, and provide an easy and free way to maintain your pet's happiness.
