Hello all. How are you? I was wondering if someone could tell me how you spell, "Reaver?" Reever? Rever?

Maybe it's an acronym like, "R.E.V.'r?" (Rape, Eat, Violate). I have no idea. Maybe the correct spelling is posted somewhere on this website. Can someone please help me out with this? Thank you...

It's "reaver," and it's a very old word meaning thief or pillager.

Reaver = R*v*r
River = R*v*r

R*v*r = ordinary people that the alliance royally fucked up.

Ok, so River was never exactly normal, but nearly so before the Academy.

It always struck me also how similar "Reaver" is to "Reader," another type of being the Alliance created.
