Great father winter is an NPC who appears during the winter holiday seasons (December 15th to December 29th) and is located near the bank in Ironforge or near the bank in Orgrimmar.If this is the first time you have visited him, you will be able to get this quest from him: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=6962

You will notice that there are presents around Great-father winter. Those who have looted these presents previous from either this year or last won't be able to loot them again. You are able to loot
(1) Carefully Wrapped Present
(1) Gaily Wrapped Present
(1) Ticking Present

The presents you receive deal with the holiday season and range from engineering schematics to a mechanical greench as well as several mini-pets.

Great-father Winter is only here for a short time so visit him soon!

I forgot to add that there are level requirements to obtain the presents. The Carefully wrapped present is available to all levels. The Gaily Wrapped Present is only available to those with a level of 20+ and the Ticking Present is available to 40+. I'm sorry that I forgot to include that.

You cannot raid the opposing faction's capital to "steal Christmas." You cannot attack this target.

Commento di Darthdavo

if the Ticking Present was the mount one (I forgot which one) It would be level 30+ now

The term "Winter Veil" is said to stem from a supernatural being referred in many cultures to as Greatfather Winter. As he would walk the land late in the seasons, winter itself would be his billowing cloak. In his wake was the blanketing of the land in snow, and thus it is said that Greatfather Winter would cast his wintry veil over the land. Though parts of Azeroth may lie in snow, it gives the land time for rebirth and renewal.

Greatfather Winter is now seen as a kind old orc, or dwarf, who brings presents to everyone. Although many people, such as lorekeepers, have their thoughts about this commercializing of the old god by the Copperpinch and Jinglepocket families (members of the Smokywood Pastures arm of the Steamwheedle Cartel goblin faction), it is a nice idea nonetheless.

I think he feels sick. He looks green. Sick of all the children and adults around him.

Commento di Kristopher

He is not Great-father Winter but The Grinch! Give him a hug before all your gifts are gone!

maybe the alliance one is santa, but the horde on isnt

though im pretty sure i agree with another poster, its probably saurfang who does the honor

Commento di Canary

If any intrepid roleplayers are interested, Great Father Winter is sporting a dashingly designed robe that looks exactly like the Flarecore Robe craft-able by tailors who are honored with the Thorium Brotherhood (The pattern requires honored status to be purchased). Combine that with..

Bandit Boots

Ghostwalker Bindings

and

Red Hands of The Thunderlord

..for a festive Winter's Veil ensemble, guaranteed to turn a few heads!

Why does this Greatfather Winter hesitate every time he identifies me by my gender? "hello little, uh... girl." I mean come on! I know I am a female tauren- a race/gender combination which is typically a little androgenous... but are we so androgenous that Greatfather Winter can't even tell? What an imposter! "Have a wonderful Feast of Winter Veil, Greatfather, uh... Saurfang!"

"Twas The Eve Before Winter Veil"

Twas the eve before Winter Veil, when all across Azeroth
Not one mob was stirring, not even a Crimson Moth.
The axes and guns by the stovestack were hung,
In delight that Ol' Great-father soon would be there.

The orclings and troll-kin were snug in their beds,
While nightmares of Deathwing danced in their heads.
And mamma in her plate mail, and I in my cloth,
Had just started diggin' in for some Alterac wrath.

When deep within The Drag, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the Auction House to see what was the matter.
Gemming my epics, I flew like a mage,
Slashed open the shutters and threw up Enrage!

Elune on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of Eversong to objects below.
When, what to my bloodshot eyes should appear,
But a battle-scarred sleigh, and eight ragged reindeer.

With a cold-as-ice driver, not some Alliance bother,
but I knew in that moment it must be Great-father.
More rapid than Wind Riders his coursers they came,
And he screamed, and bellowed, and belittled them by name!

"Now Digsnout! now, Drimsnap! now, Protspec and Vexxer!
On, Contagion! On, Hamstring! on, on Drago and Metzen!
To the top Darnassus! To the bottom of the the 'Forge!
Now rend the Alliance! Rend away! Rend away all!"

As priests that before Al'Akir fly,
When they meet with a Wind Burst, mount to the sky.
So up to the Twin Colossi the festive mounts flew,
With a sleigh full of Smokywood Treats, Feats of Strength and the Great-father too.

And then, with a shout, I heard on the roof
The tearing and rending of each razor-sharp hoof.
As I drew on my helm, and was turning around,
Through the roof Greatfather came with a bound.

Dressed in festive leathers, from his head to his foot,
And his wraps were all stained with blood and charred soot.
A bundle of sausage and cheese he had flung on his back,
Just like a wretched goblin, just opening his pack.

His nostrils how they flared! his tusks how rotten!
His cheeks were like moss, his nose like au'gratin!
His drooling wide mouth twisted with Orcish brogue,
The grizzled beard of his chin, sickly pale like the snow.

The stump of a gnome he held tight in his maw,
The blood dripping down like a wound from Calder's Bonesaw.
He had a smashed face and a tiny goblin flunkie,
That cowered when he barked, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was gnarled and bent, a right hostile old orc,
And I grimaced when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A glare of his eye and a crack of his neck,
Soon gave me to know he meant no disrespect.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the sabatons, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his fist hard astride of his chest,
And with a "Loktar!", he departed with the rest!

He rushed to his sleigh, to his team gave a roar,
And away they all flew in a mist of red gore.
But I heard him exclaim, with one exultant breath,
"Happy Winter Veil to the Horde, and to the Alliance a slow death!"

-Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Pyrannor

I'm asking for a Sky Golem this year!

As I do with World Events... I've made an AddOn, which I uploaded to Curse, and it gives a ton of information about completing this World Event.

If you do care to download then I hope that you found it useful. Players unfamiliar with the layout of opposing capital cities will especially like my BB King information
