"Unlocking Remnant's secrets"

- River Spark Archaeology's slogan

River Spark Archaeology (or RSA, River Spark Archaeology Team, RSAT) is group comprised of archaeologists. They are known for finding artefacts and treasure throughout Remnant.

Description
River Spark - being an archaeology group - specialises in searching for ancient treasure or artefacts. The organisation is quite regular sized, only having 50 members in their group. River Spark are responsible for finding quite a large amount of artefacts that are currently in public display at mueseum's. They use many of their resources to finding certain items.

History
Acheron Diamond is the founder of River Spark Archaeology. He created the organisation after earing money as he did jobs as a Huntsman and other odd jobs. River Spark only had 4 members including Acheron, all the members which he knew from his missions in Vale. The organisation had set out on a mission to find a lost shield which turned out to be really famous which gained them fame.

Later on, they continued finding artefacts with ease, until when, they started finding mercenaries and bandits waiting for the River Spark Archaeology team. Despite not knowing Acheron as a Huntsman, he easily defeated them. The group started employing a few of the bandits as members as they would help with any trouble.

River Spark decided to go to more grimm infested areas to search and retrieve armour from the War. It was at this point, they asked Beacon Academy to allow a few students to join them. One team that included Silica Aqua helped when one of their members were unable to attend to help them find armour. This led to her getting a job for River Spark Archaeology after she graduated.

Reputation
River Spark Archaeology are quite popular as they are known for being brave and strong for being able to dangerously explore areas just to preserve history. The organisation is well known in Vacuoo and a few people are aware of them in Mistral.

Since Acheron is an ex team mate of Scomodo Sabbia, the River Spark Archaeology team are allied with the Sabbia Steelwork Factory. The Sabbia Steelwork Factory promote the River Spark group sometimes and equips them with weapons to fight.

Although, River Spark are constantly targeted by bandits who are looking to use the artefacts they find for their own gain. Due to the fact in every expedition, River Spark bring atleast four hunters to the group, making it easy to defeat them. Mercenaries pose a problem as they can be hired by wealthy people.

Location
Despite the first four members all origining from Vale, the organisation is located in the east coast of the kingdom of Vacuo. Origininally, the base used to be a secluded motel until it was then changed to suit River Sparks needs. The organisation has an airship bay however visitors are not allowed to arrive to the headquarters by airship. There is also a deck that allows for the storage of boats.

Structure
To be able to join River Spark, a person must atleast have graduated from higher education (meaning Beacon or university). It is also required that a person must prove in ways in which their skills will help the organisation.

There is no set rank hiearchy, however there is a certain hierarchy within the skills of members. Despite this, the River Spark Archaeology team is very diverse as it does not only contain archaeologists but doctors, drivers and engineers.

Transport
Airships are often River Spark Archaeology's main transport of getting about places. Despite this, they do have a ship that allows them to travel across the sea to get to other places.
