right|300px
Vair'lian was once a Lieutenant Commander of the Elven Army, and was also a close friend of Tylious. Among the elves that survived the Hunts invasion, and made it to Polcro, it is thoerized that it was Vair'lian who betrayed his people and revealed weaknesses to Ger'oul. These are actually true, and Vair'lian was granted by Ger'oul minimal powers over the hunt, increased magical capabilities, and the honorary title of "The Lier". He is the 3rd boss in The Desecrated Sanctuary.

==Preperation==
Good healers are a MUST for this fight. Vair'lian has slighty less health to compensate for his increased damage, it is recommened that even some DPS switch to anything that can help with healing.
==Tactics==
===Phase 1===
For this phase, make sure your tanks sre geared in anything to help reduce magic damage. primarily shadow and fire. Every time a "Terror Flame" is used, a faint line will appear indicating its direction, jump out of the way quickly, and have a healer assigned to cure the DoT if anyone is hit. "High Flames" can, and has been, the bane for many a raider, it deals a large amount of damage in a large area, and the area damage of the pool is also quite large, chances area someone will be hit by this, but try as best you can to move out of the way. "Shaodw Lance" is by far is least substantial attack, but that doesn't mean you should ignore it, have a healer cure the DoT right away, many players have died from this, thinking it fine to ignore. "Pyro-ignition" is really the only other note worthy attack, when he uses it, IMMEDIATLEY, and have a healer assigned from the BEGGINING of the fight just for this, so he can keep the heals up.
===Phase 2===
There is a slight intermission into this phase, allowing players, mainly tanks, to equip into gear for melee damage reduction. This phase can be just as stressful on healers as the first, so make sure to fully regen your mana. After a "Crushing Blow" have the off-tank pick up Vair'lian until the main tank can equip his gear again. "Reckless Strike" can kill a tank if not fully topped off on HP, so heal him up to FULL before this happens, listen to his quotes for your que to heal up. "Dragon's Fangs" must simply be healed through, no other way to avoid it. For his "Devastations Wake" watch his path carefully and try to avoid his path as best you can, some players WILL get hit, just heal it up and all will be good. Hid final attack, "Master Stroke" can be deadly if not handled properly, as there is NO WAY to avoid it, even Godlock won't work. After his inital strike, spam heals to keep your tank up, as the bleed is fairly severe, and has killed many a good tank.
