> Vultures? You saw vultures? That is obviously a sign you both will die horrible painful deaths. The only real question is who’s will be worse.

Definitely. Vultures are a sign of ill omen. The gods obviously are indicating that neither you or your friend will live long enough to rule the city.

Who’s got the cooler name? Because saying “All roads lead to Reme” or “The Reman Empire” would just sound silly.

(Wait, vultures? Unless you’d just sacrificed a couple animals, I think the Gods might be telling you to found your city elsewhere).
