Before the opening of the Dark Portal, Honor Hold was a besieged and desperate outpost of the Sons of Lothar (hence its rather dilapidated appearance). Soldiers and adventurers of the Alliance have now come through the Portal to help shore up its defences, and that includes you.
High reputation with Honor Hold offers some tasty rewards, including a number of impressive epics at Exalted. The main purpose for building up reputation with this faction, though, is to gain access to the Flamewrought Key AHTW, which opens up Heroic mode for Hellfire Citadel. You'll need to be Revered with Honor Hold to gain access to the key.
All Honor Hold faction rewards are available from the quartermaster Logistics Officer Ulrike AHTW, who is in the courtyard of the Hold. Additional supplies (mostly in the form of gems and trinkets) are available from Warrant Officer Tracy Proudwell AHT in Honor Hold itself, and the Alliance Field Scout AHT in Zangarmarsh, but you'll need Marks of Honor Hold AHTW, not gold, to purchase these.
Gaining Reputation
There are numerous Honor Hold quests available from the Hold itself. For Honor Hold reputation only, there's a strange but useful aid to gaining faction. If you have gained Marks of Honor Hold from the Hellfire Fortifications AHTW quest, you can trade them in with Warrant Officer Proudwell AHT for 'Honor Hold Favors AHT'. Use a Favor at any time to increase your Honor Hold faction gains by 25% for the next thirty minutes.
