As of 8.0.1 and the time of this post, this quest appears to be bugged. With the changes to Uther's Tomb, the [item=61920] appears to not be working now. Hopefully this is fixed in time within one of the upcoming fixes in the next few days.
Because of the current bug, this prevents people from completing the Western Plaguelands story and achievements.
//Edit//
As of 7/20/2018, as reported below the tribute now works again and the questline can be completed.

Yep. As of the day of the Shattering going live, this quest is NOT POSSIBLE for anyone above level 47 (When the quest goes gray). If your here for the WPL Quest achievement, you're going to have to wait for this to be fixed. Just abandon it, and wait for the next patch to come back. After doing every other quest chain, I was sitting at 37/45 total quests done in WPL btw. EDIT: This has been broken since the beta. I warn you, don't waste your time. Come back later.
found a secret to this! /kneel inside the light around the statue, and you get a crit blessing, then use the Chillwind Tribute, and you get two blessings and they stack! lucky me

What to do
Description
These farmers from the south wish to take these farms, but I can't let them enter the plaguelands unprepared. Even with the Scourge gone, danger still looms in the form of the Forsaken. No, we must be ready to fight... and that includes our new visitors. Before doing anything else, however, I would recommend that you travel to Uther's Tomb, to the east, and place this tribute before his statue to ask for his blessing. Speak with the priest that tends to the tomb when you are finished.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Mighty Hunger
I hail from Westfall, far to the south... as do these men that travel with me. We are farmers, and nothing more. I had been told that Lordaeron had been healed, and that it was ready for tilling. However, this "Commander" now tells me that it's too dangerous to proceed.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Abandoned Crypt
If you truly intend to move forward in this battle for Andorhal... well, perhaps I can help. To the east lies a large crypt. The bottom level of the crypt was once used for storage of weapons and armor... until the Scourge came. Now that the undead have left, the weapons are free for the taking.
