I did a little searching on the actual definition of the word "Reavers" our House nickname. Let me share the results:
reave 1 (riËv)
— vb (foll by of ) , reaves , reaving , reaved , reft
[Old English reÄfian ; related to Old High German roubÅn to rob, Old Norse raufa to break open]
reave 2 (riËv)
— vb , reaves , reaving , reaved , reft
archaic to break or tear (something) apart; cleave
[C13 reven , probably from reave 1 and influenced in meaning by rive ]
So I started thinking, wouldn't it be interesting to have a short fiction contest to write a story featuring that aspect of our House?
So... You have two weeks to write a short piece of fiction (at least two pages) about a solo secret mission given to you by your brilliantly nefarious and bloodthirsty leader (me) which revolves around you 'reaving.' Hopefully in June we'll be able to bring back a Monthly Topic for the Brotherhood as a whole, until then, have fun with this. I'll add the best submissions to the archive as House 'canon.'
Have fun, I look forward to reading your submissions.
Emerald Star (Cr-1E) for 1st, and Topaz Star (Cr-1T) for 2nd.
Competition runtime starts on the first day at 00:00:01 UTC, and ends on the last day at 23:59:59 UTC.
