He can be found at 49,41 and has two special abilities:

Throw Bear Pelt
Harold will throw a bear pelt at the player doing 1000 - 1200 physical dmg (on leather) approximately every 3 seconds while at range.

Bear Trap
Harold will place a trap on the ground, typically next to the player, which will root the player in place and do 315 damage every 2 seconds for 10 seconds. While player is rooted, Harold will run to ranged distance and use the Throw Bear Pelt ability.

You are also provided with the Cenarion Horn, which will summon a stampede and do approximately 50% damage to Harold. Note: the horn will only damage Harold once.

He can be solo'd by druids by keeping him at range (root) and healing through the bear pelts while dpsing.

Description

You have done much for the animals of the Borean Tundra, {name}. Nesingwary's lackeys have been beaten back and taught a lesson that they will not soon forget. Harold Lane, the primary agent responsible for the mass slaughters in Nagrand, has been identified as the man in charge of Nesingwary operations in the tundra. He is stationed at Lake Kum'uya, west of here. <Lathorius hands you an intricately carved oak horn.> Find Lane and kill him. Use this horn should you require our aid.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Culler ComethBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Near the southern end of this bluff is where you will find the treacherous leader of the caribou trappers. She is a savage like no other, making a mockery out of the carcasses of the slain animals: drinking from their blood and howling to the moons!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Monitoring the Rift: Cleftcliff AnomalyBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Greetings, <race>. I am Garren of Dalaran. Not long ago, the rift was a peaceful place - geothermally speaking at least. Recently though, earthquakes have occurred with alarming frequency and scars in the earth have appeared, exposing unique energy fields of chaotic power.
