In the RPG

Baron Rivendare's Runeblade is a powerful bastard sword. It is Baron Rivendare's most prized possession, next to his undead steed, Deathcharger. The finely-crafted blade bears a false hilt and is etched with necromantic runes all down the blade. The blade pulses with cold power, seeming all too ready to draw blood from enemies. In anyone else's hands, the blade is simply a bastard sword. In the Baron's hands, however, the weapon becomes a keen frost/unholy bastard sword. The powerful blade also grants anyone who wields the blade fast healing. The sword also allows any wielder to cast Bloodlust on themselves.[2]

Notes

  • According to Mathias Shaw, the sword is now sealed by sacred wards in the Sanctum of Light, under the watch of the Knights of the Silver Hand, after adventurers brought it back following the defeat of Baron Rivendare.[1]
  • The health regeneration is 20 hp per 5 secs, and the movement speed bonus is +8%. Other movement speed increasing effects do not stack.
  • The equip effect replicates the Unholy Aura skill of the Death Knight in Warcraft III.
  • Despite the weapon being a drop in the updated version of Stratholme, Baron Rivendare was still seen using it while in Naxxramas.
