...once moved a mountain because it obstructed the view from his tower. Nobody has managed to do the like, before or since. Because Stammelford, so they say, had the services of a d'ao, an Earth genie.

D'ao is the name for the elemental genie of earth. Herbert Stammelford, a mage, moved a mountain with the help of a d'ao, according to legends.[1]

Large golems fueled by the element of Earth, that is the Earth Elementals, are sometimes dubbed d'ao, but have nothing in common with the real ones.[2][3]

The Witcher: Monster Slayer[]

D'ao is a legendary monster of elementa class. It is a very strong opponent, vurnerable only to Dimeritium. It is depicted as a gigantic creature which body is made of stones and tree branches. It uses a stone slab as a shield and attacks with its fist.

Bestiary description[]

The only recorded case of a moved mountain mentiones the Mahakam peak named Aar, under which d'ao had buried an elven palace, Muire Deith.
