TheWoWDBMistblade Scale-Lord is under ground. Near the south-eastern corner of the lake is a tiny cave entrance that doesn't show up on the map. The cave entrance is in the middle of a rock, positioned under a tree, between 2 camp fires.
After killing the Mistblade Scale-Lord you free Koven from the amber and after a few words he eventually gives you another 2 quests.

Entrance Cords: Lake of Stars 66.8, 63.7
Just to confitm, it is not in the lake itself, its on land at the co-ordinates above but looks similar to the Rabbit burrows we have already seen.

Description
In order for our efforts against the mantid empire to continue, we require more amber. There is a great deposit of amber underneath the lake to the south, but the area is inhabited by a savage saurok tribe. I cannot spare anyone else. You must go to the lake and test the tribe's strength. Thin their numbers and eliminate their leader, who is probably hiding in his underground cavern. Surely this is not too great a task for you?
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 Cry From Darkness
So, you survived the imperial clutches. You are... resilient. The Klaxxi hear another paragon to the north, among the sha-scorched roots of Kypari Vor. This one cries out in terror and agony. It cannot be saved. The Klaxxi want him put down. Go and defeat him or do not return here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Feeding the Beast
I must join the Klaxxi Council and the other paragons immediately, but I am barely strong enough to stand. I must feed, Wakener. I sense the beating hearts of creatures on the northern bank of the lake. Kill them for me, and I shall do the rest.
