==Background==
One famous [[Reiver]] was the town guard of [[River's Rest]], [[Cotuil]]. She vanished from her post the same night that the magical transportation log (a means of moving between River's Rest and the Wehnimer's Landing area) was destroyed in a Krolvin raid.

In 5105, a faction of Reivers rose up in a civil conflict supporting a hag known as Hagga. After much strife, Hagga's faction was defeated.

Some adventurers, despite the willingness for peace shown by many Reivers, regularly raided Luinne Bheinn. Strangely enough, some Reivers didn't seem to mind the occasional bout too much--especially if the raider was an engaging female.

The reiver looks at you with doubt.  "If ye have come tae join our efforts against the krol', we'll have tae first see if yer tough enough tae be one o' us.  'tis ae hard life and ae harsh place up 'ere."

The reiver peers at you and says, "Have ye come to help us drive those bloody krolvins off our continent?  Nae many seem tae care anymore.  Cowards, the lot o' them!"

"Ye best run home tae yer mum now.  This is nae the place for ae wee one like ye," mumbles the reiver.
