+'''Rivendare''' refers to multiple things. Which one do you mean?
+*{{RaceIconExt|DeathKnight}} [[Baron Rivendare]] - Leader of the [[Four Horsemen]].
-Baron '''Rivendare''' is the [[death knight]] leader of the [[Scourge]] forces in the city of [[Stratholme]], a former noble of [[Lordaeron]] who coordinated the efforts of the [[Lich King]] in the [[Plaguelands]] until his death at the hands of operatives in the employ of the [[Argent Dawn]].
+*{{RaceIcon|HumanDeathKnight|Male}} [[Aurius Rivendare|Lord Aurius Rivendare]] - Ruler of [[Stratholme]].
-In World of Warcraft, he drops a very rare epic mount, the [[Deathcharger]]. He also drops all the leg items - one per kill -  for what is considered the first end game overall [[Item Sets]] for all classes (also known as Tier 0 or "blue" sets).  Similarly, he is also involved in the 2nd dungeon sets (also know as Tier 0.5) that came with patch 1.10.

-==Strategy==
-The Baron Rivendare fight presents two major challenges. First, his damage aura, which applies shadow damage to everyone in range. Second, he periodically spawns waves of skeletons from the bone piles scattered around his room. If these skeletons survive long enough, he casts Death Pact on them, killing them but healing himself.
-To deal with the shadow aura, have your tank position the Baron against one wall of the chamber. Have your healers and ranged damage dealers stand on the opposite wall. This will allow them to stay out of range of the aura, avoiding the damage and casting interruptions. The tank and melee damage dealers will have to absorb the aura's damage. A [[Priest]] can buff the group with [[Shadow Protection]], or a [[Paladin]] can use the [[Shadow Protection Aura]] to mitigate that damage.
-The skeletons will almost always immediately aggro your healer. One of the easiest ways to deal with this is to have a class with high [[AOE]] damage, like a [[Mage]] or a [[Warlock]] in the group, and position them right next to the healer. They can then [[AOE]] the skeletons, which have moderate damage but very low hit points, as they rush towards the healer.
-If you don't have a Mage or a Warlock in the group, there are other ways to deal with the skeletons. A [[Priest]] with the [[Holy Nova]] talent can kill the skeletons and keep the ranged party members healed at the same time, but this is very mana intensive, and he might need that mana to heal through the Baron's damage.
-You can also try having members of your party use the {{tbitem|13147|Stratholme Holy Water}} that can be gathered throughout the instance. One bottle is generally enough for each wave of skeletons.
-Owners of pets must not to have their pets in Defensive mode as they enter the chamber, as their response to the shadow aura damage will likely trigger the encounter before the party is ready.
