“	Welcome to the Great Dismal Delve, Gem of the Inner Planes. You are now slaves of the Mighty and Merciful Khatun Zafara Al'Yil Jin Zarain, Queen of the Mantled Depths, Pontiff of the Diamond Cathedral, Protector of the Malachite Scepter, and so on and so forth.	„

Summary

Dao are the Genies of Earth. They are known by their greed and malicious nature towards intruders- their long, earthen galleries are pocked with the shine of gemstones revealed by their mining operations. Little does a Dao care for the hardship of others, often using its great wealth to support immense decadence- it is known they grind diamonds into dust and use it as a spice on their foods. The only race they are on friendly terms with are the Efreeti.
