Often cities static is 90% of restaurants close in their first year, and 60% of the remaining close by their 5th year.
Obviously not really, since we have references to the Amulet of Kings way before Reman's time. But according to Narina Carvain in TES4:
> "You must be joking, right? Who hasn't heard of the greatest known hero of the First Age? Reman Cyrodiil not only was the conqueror of the Akaviri forces, but he actually convinced them to help build the Empire as it is today. With such an Empire at his disposal, he conquered most of Tamriel, except Morrowind of course, and was crowned Emperor. In fact, he instituted the rites of becoming an Emperor, which included the construction of the Amulet of Kings.
So someone who is quite wealthy, well educated, and an expert on Akaviri history (which ties closely to Reman) presents this theory as a matter of fact.
I don't think this is true, but I haven't seen any references to this alternative idea before, so I thought it would be interesting to bring up.
