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 Horde acknowledges many heroes, but none exemplify strength and sacrifice more than Grom Hellscream.

Help us honor Grom by taking this offering to his monument in the Demon Fall Canyon of Ashenvale. Place it at the base, and then return to me. I'll only be here through the end of the festival, so waste no time in giving Grom his tribute.

This is gonna be really weird during Warlords of Draenor.

"Go honor the dead Grom Hellscream."

"But... he's still alive, out in Draenor."

"Didn't you hear me? I said go honor his heroic deeds!"

"We are literally at war with him and his Iron Horde!"

"HONOR HIM"

As more people go to honor the monument, more and more candles, totems, and bottles begin to spawn, one for each player to complete the quest.

Forsaken spawn black candles with green flames, Orcs and Trolls spawn bottles, Tauren spawn totems, and Blood Elves spawn candles... If I'm not mistaken.

This holiday really doesn't correspond to Thanksgiving. It is almost identical to a Korean holiday called "Chusok" where Koreans go to their ancestors' graves and honor them with food. Every year, it has fallen at the same time as Chusok and this year again, it falls at the same time.

WoW has a lot of Korean items in it such as "Dokebi" items (dokebi is a korean mythical creature) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=14582, Hanbok (a traditional korean dress) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=13896, and obvious ones like Kimchi http://www.wowhead.com/?item=21033
