Daeva

The Daeva (Homo sanguinus or Homo daeva), sometimes referred to as Daevites, were a human race that resided in Daeva, the birthplace of the matriarchal Daevite Empire. While depictions vary widely, including the Daeva's non-existence as a separate species, the typical Daevite is portrayed as a pseudo-vampiric race that consumed the blood and flesh of humans in worship of the Scarlet King, an immensely powerful deity and subject of the Scarlet Faith.

===SCP-6140===
The Daeva were not a distinct species; rather, orientalist Thomas Bruce created a discriminatory depiction of Daeva's people in SCP-140, portraying them as vampiric creatures. The majority of information about the Daeva was exaggerated or outright fabricated, with some elements of truth, such as the governing class's power and slave ownership. This governing class was deposed in a massive slave revolt after a slave was sacrificed to the fictitious Scarlet King, paving the way for modern Daevastan.
