An Ancient Roman Religious Practice, ''Haruspex'' was the ability for Priests to determine future events by examining the entrails of certain animals. Often used in ''Blood Sacrifices'', the remaining animal carcass was cut open to remove various organs (livers, intestines, etc), and determining various courses of action, both by The State and important Persons. The Practice was adopted from The Ancient Greeks.
