Revision as of 23:36, 11 February 2018
The Dauk were members of a possibly human culture about which not a lot is known. Eltibald studied their menhirs in his investigations into the curse of the Black Sun.
In The World of the Witcher
The surviving writings found on the Dauk menhirs and tombstones found in Wozgor necropolises formed the basis of several prophecies and divinations (vide: "The Prophecy of the Black Sun"), which remain questionable to this day (vide: "The Mania of Mad Eltibald"). Some scholars stipulate that the Wozgor and Dauk beliefs remain alive in the form of the religion of Melitele and lesser cults (cf. Coram Agh Tera and Veyopatis). The events which led to the extinction of both peoples remain sharply disputed among scholars."

Other work of Andrzej Sapkowski
Yarra: the River of Death, a scenario for The Eye of Yrrhedes role-playing game, mentions a tribe called dauk-vorkers belonging to a race called vorkers, who were described as 1.20 meters high, stocky humanoids with Mongoloid facial features, somehow similar to goblins by customs. Another tribe mentioned were halla-vorkers.
It should be noted however that the scenarios are set in the world different to the one described in The Witcher novels.
