A creation of Storrralk, the Dao are a Earthen people, a sub-race of Geniekind. Built for working stone, with innate abilities to manipulate the earth, and claws that can dig through earth and rock with ease, the Dao are some of the best miners, stonemasons, and engineers.
The only good thing that comes from a dao are the claws. If done quick, before the monster solidifies, extracted they make great points for morning stars, spiked clubs, or the serrating on a blade.

Some dao become master engineers. Much sought after for their knowledge of geometry, mathematics, and construction, many of the designs for building fortifications after the development of cannons are to their credit. They were the first to build sloped walls and earthen ramparts for deflecting and reducing the damage from cannonballs.
On the world of Bal-Kriav, dao slaves, the unwanted of Megabreccia, built grandiose cities, vast networks of tunnels and mines, aqueducts, and fortifications for their Tinnanguth masters.
