 While I think Mesopotamia is the better origin point, Egypt is a close second. This is because neither is the clear ‘winner’ here.\\
-Mesopotamia is much older than Egypt (and the earliest civilizations were reportedly quite fragile((:ref:debt)) meaning you could tie them to vampires). But Mesopotamia was a bunch of rival city-states while Egypt was centralized. Egypt also had a higher population density.\\

 Centralization makes it easier to move around without being spotted.\\

 First of all, they would 100% not support slavery of fellow vampires for the simple reason that they know it's economic suicide in the long-run. Thus it's inherently destabilizing.\\
-Slavery of humans though? That's a bit more ambiguous, though I'd lean towards them generally supporting it. They would 93% support the South in the American Civil War((:fn:Assuming they aren't so racist that they wouldn't drink the blood of blacks, but that's unlikely because food is food. At the same time...it's likely they wouldn't support sucking off blacks.)). But in all other cases there would be some ambiguity involved.\\

 This is mostly down to the fact that views on slavery vary a lot across history...and, well, the observable negative effects of slavery for the economy and societal stability.

 I'm not gonna expand on this too much – because everything else written on this article is just a remix of what I've already written or thought about prior and I only started thinking about this //now//...\\

 I think this can only be justified with magic, the vampires being alive or the vampires being in a weird semi-alive semi-dead state (as is implied with the //Requiem// vampires)...or the vampires already starting as separate species with similar traits.
+One of the big considerations is numbers...assuming the above ratio of 1 vampire per 100k humans...there would be 80,000 vampires globally nowadays. The more species there are, the less believable it'll become. So this requires a lot of care.
