    I've always been fascinated by the Daevites.
    The way I've always thought of it is that SCP 140 was some sort of artifact the Sarkics used to seal the Daevites away because, honestly, given the Daevites power I see no other way their slave revolt would have been successful. When new ink or blood is added to the book the seal gets weaker and the timeline of the book and by extension reality gets closer to what would actually happen had the Sarkics never sealed them away.

      I mean...it seems pretty plausible for their slave revolt to succeed when you remember the literal Godlike power their most diluted, harried descendants remain capable of to this day. After all, it isn't as though the power of the Sarkic 'cults' is something anyone is born with, it's a skill someone learned and taught to others. If you can teach a million slaves to read, you can teach a million slaves to raise a billion slavering horrors with a trillion teeth. The Daevites were incredibly powerful, but they were a relatively small population of God-Kings whose numbers really only grew the old fashioned way. The Grand Karcist out reproduced them, because their numbers could grow by the day.

    This was their civilization's plan. The book would attract those who would want to keep reading, which would allow more pages to be added. Eventually, enough pages would be added to make a change in time, allowing the Daevites to last longer in history, maybe into the modern era. The cost, they would be temporarily defeated or destroyed by whoever they fought against, facing embarrassment across history.

    "Daeva" is a Persian term (cognate) for Indian gods (Deva). After the Indo-Persian split (or perhaps causing it) the word "Daeva" became to denote evil or unideal beings in Persian mythology while in Indian mythology it came to denote gods/demigods.

    @redshuttleredacted6422 Před 2 lety +43

    As someone who's good in history, here's my take on the implications of the existence of the Daevite Empire:
    - The Daevites would have most likely wreaked havoc across the Eurasian steppes and could have prevented or at least delay the rise of many powerful empires, nomads, and civilizations across history, including but not limited to: The Mongolian Empire, the Turkic nomads, the proto-Hungarians who migrated to Ukraine and Pannonia IRL, and the like.
    - The Daevite Empire could have either obstructed the Silk Road or became one of its most prosperous users as it may have sold their anomalous goods to other civilizations such as Rome and China or probably just going full Tamerlane on the Road by demanding ridiculously high tributes and toll fees and pillaging trade centers, as well as ambushing merchants.
    - Without the Silk Road, the Eurasian civilizations won't probably advance as much as they did in our timeline and our technology would probably lag a few hundred years compared to real life. Also, a likely outcome would be the Daevites possessing a huge empire, probably larger than that formed by Genghis Khan in OTL, but despite its huge economic and technological advantage, it'd still probably collapse due to a number of factors such as their unsatiable human sacrifice rituals and needs, to which the Aztecs have fallen victim to in real life (the Spanish just exponentially expedited their collapse).
    - The resulting power vacuum left by its collapse could be filled by new civilizations and other empires relatively unscathed by their anomalous onslaught, and the leftover anomalous technology could spark off technological arms races between the realms which would emerge victorious in the scramble to reclaim former Daevite dominions. Assuming that the Daevite Empire was founded in early Roman times and collapsed in the 1300s to 1400s, the most probable civilizations which would profit off from the Empire's demise would include a recently revitalizing China, the southern Indian states, probably a few Arab states and north African states, and probably a mostly unscathed Scandinavia, France, Spain, and/or England.

      @@jakespacepiratee3740 Thanks, but uhh can't deny that this comment doesn't have many likes...
      I'll try to continue this.
      For the future of the post-Daevite world, the Empire would probably fragment into smaller warlord states or successor states like what happened to the Mongols. Their subjugated nations would try to revolt against them, and these nations' consequent access to anomalous technology could finally make the battles less one-sided.
      I imagine China quickly adapting anomalous warfare and beating the Daevites at their own game of genocide and mass murder as revenge for the centuries of suffering brought by the latter upon the former, Europe declaring a renewed Crusade against the Daevites and eventually liberating the continent.
      The most advanced civilizations would probably be what's left of the Islamic world in the deserts and in Zanzibar. Perhaps Islam may not have had a chance to prevail as the Daevites managed to plunder Arabia early on and move forward to quickly subjugate the Byzantine Empire, the Caucasian principalities, and others.
      If it's not the Islamic world, maybe the English, Spanish, East Asians, and the Southeast Asians would probably be the most advanced civilization. That is, assuming that the Daevites were still limited in their conquests despite their technology. But, even if that is so, the Daevite Empire simply isn't sustainable and would collapse in the future.
      After the reconquest of former Daevite lands, their reconquerors are probably going to be horrified to see the extent of genocide and witchcraft the former committed upon these unfortunate cultures and peoples.
      Hmmm... maybe... WHAT IF THE DAEVITES DID NOT READILY COLLAPSE INSTEAD? To prolong their existence, they could simply have assimilated some of their conquered peoples and try to conquer the world. The cost of running such a huge empire requires an insane amount of manpower without proper technology....
      Wait. The Daevites use anomalous technology. The anomalous is unrestrained by the laws of nature. Oh well. Maybe they have anomalous technology which allows them to overcome various logistical, communication, and military obstacles in the long run. Also they can modify time, and they can do could have the potential to subjugate the entirety of the universe to their will.
      In other words, the world is screwed.

      The article mentions a unknown number of copies of the book, so even if they did destroyed it, it would mean nothing as they would still have to seek the rest until the author (SCP-140-A) would be found and terminated.

      While they're my favorite GOI, I don't think you can get a good explaining video from them. At least, not until several others like the Sarkics and the Serpent's hand are explored.
      Their contrast with the Foundation is one of the most interesting aspects of the universe to me, where their different philosophy (Either kill it, send it off-planet, or recruit it) creates an interesting aspect with the foundation. Sometimes they're dead wrong, but sometimes they're the only ones willing to get their hands dirty and *fix* something.

    I got to say even though it could never happen, as the amount of people involved to get it to happen is quite large. It would be so interesting to see the scp setting an foundation turned into a tv series in the vain of an anthology series, which fallows different scpes being found an dealt with, over dealing directly with the scp foundation at large. The amount of interesting stories that could be done even unique ones not existing in the setting yet, as well as interconnected storylines would be massive an interesting.

      One can also imagine the stories this skip could generate. One being, There is a copy of SCP-140 in a water tight container, in the cargo hold of the Titanic, and it is slowly losing its seal. Another could be, “She hid the book from those who would covet it for several days, because no one ever checks the tank of a flush toilet.”

    It luckily didn't win the SCP-6000 spot, so the "No Canon" rule of SCP is in full effect.
    Like, yeah, technically it's always in effect, but thousand SCPs tend to inform the common consensus of the SCP Mythos. Thus, any story that tried to explore the original conception of the Daevites would go against the common perception of the mythos.

      I would imagine it would 'catch up reality' too much. I think the book was created by the Daevites to help them gain world supremacy, but in their plan they would ultimately secure and contain it themselves. That way it couldn't fall into the wrong hands and write the future against them, or, since the future doesn't exist yet, stop writing entirely and cause the future to be a self-destructing void.

    They are obviously connected due to their shared presence in relative time, but I like to imagine the Daevites are connected to both the Scarkics and Mekanites through the lense of anomalous theology as well. The Sarkic-Mekanite holy war is probably one of the oldest and most expanded of SCP’s histories/canons, and the fact that the Sarkics owe their existence to the Daevites (via enslavement and then catalysiation via revolt) it always struck me that the Daevites don’t necessarily seem to have a dog in the god fight. Reading through a lot of Scarlet King stuff (particularly the 001 proposal and its historical addendums) I find a likely unintentional mirroring of sentiment between the SK and the Daevite Empire. Both seek and thrive amidst immense, indiscriminate bloodshed and death. Neither hold anything holy in existence, something the Sarkics and Mekanites do however. And lastly, both have a proclivity for chimeric abominations, time manipulation, and blood magic.
    Following the string of coincidences, it would be a cool way to introduce a new facet to the combined Daevite-Sarkic-Mekanite canon. The fact that both the Daevite Empire and Scarlet King are tearing at the seems of reality to reappear (again, with profound violence and death being the required ingredient for both) while the Church of the Broken God and Sarkic Cults squabble would also be a fun XK Class event. Could bring a cheesey, if not conceptually interesting team-up scenario between the Church and Cults who both venerate human life for different reasons but venerate it all the same.
