Fanlyr was sent by Garrosh with a blood elven expedition to the Ancestral Rise in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms where the expedition found Mercurial Guardian. After the Guardian is defeated, Fanlyr learns information on the [Divine Bell], and informs Garrosh of it. He is also part of the blood elven force sent to Kun-Lai Summit, and survived the mogu ambush; later, Fanlyr joins Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron on his trip to the Valley of the Emperors, and pleads with Garrosh not to slay a captured mogu warlord, so he could be taken in for questioning. Garrosh stays his hand, but threatens to put Fanlyr's head on a pike outside Orgrimmar should he disrespect the Warchief again. He is then seen in Garrosh'ar Advance while Garrosh is interrogating Shan Kien.
