The '''Sanguinesti region''' ([[Pronunciation|pronounced]] "Sang-gwin-nest-ee"{{CitePostbag|url=http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Postbag_35|title=But how do you pruh-nounce Rell-doh?|issue=35|letter=Letter 4|date=15:37, July 8, 2011 (UTC)}}) is a large area found in South-east [[Morytania]]. The main cities in this place are noted as being [[Darkmeyer]], which is in the north of the region, and where the ruling [[vampyre]]s live, and [[Meiyerditch]], the sprawling ghetto humans are kept in, to the south.<br />

<br />
Most of the region consists of settlements. The cities themselves are swarming with [[vampyre]]s and the only humans in the area are farmed for blood like cattle.<br />
<br />
[[Castle Drakan]] features in the third [[The Myreque|Myreque]] Quest, [[Darkness of Hallowvale]], in which the player must sketch the castle from three different locations, so the Sanguinesti Myreque can observe the area and possibly find a way inside. The player must also fight [[Vanstrom Klause]] on the walls of this castle, though it is impossible to kill him.<br />
<br />
The Sanguinesti Region is ruled by [[Lord Drakan]] and his family. The [[Vampyre juvenile]]s are used as guards, and the [[Vyrewatch]] as a blood-harvesting police force, who also keep the populace under control.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
* The name of this region is derived from the French 'sanguine', meaning 'bloodthirsty', from Latin 'sanguis', 'blood'.<br />
* The legends of vampires and ''Dracula ''derive from Romanian folk stories and Romania's [[wikipedia:Vlad III the Impaler|Vlad the Impaler]].<br />
* In Romania, it is common for villages and city names to end with ''-ești'' (even the capital of Romania is called in Romanian Bucur'''ești'''). Therefore, ''Sanguinesti'' comes from the Latin ''sanguis'' and the Romanian ''-esti''.<br />
* In folklore, the kind of Vampires who suck blood are known as "Sanguine Vampires", sanguine of course meaning bloodthirsty, as stated above. The name may also have origins in this.<br />
