I did a little searching on the actual definition of the word "Reavers" our House nickname. Let me share the results:

reave 1 (riːv)

— vb (foll by of ) , reaves , reaving , reaved , reft

1. to carry off (property, prisoners, etc) by force
2. See also reive to deprive; strip

[Old English reāfian ; related to Old High German roubōn to rob, Old Norse raufa to break open]

reave 2 (riːv)

— 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.
