"However that may be, there lived in present-day Transylvania and Rumania, the very region where the belief in werewolves and vampires, as described in Bram Stoker's gruesome novel Dracula, is still very much alive, the ancient Dacians".--Man Into Wolf (1951) by Robert Eisler

The Dacians (Lat. Daci, Gr. Dákai) were an Indo-European people, the ancient inhabitants of Dacia (located in the area in and around the Carpathian mountains and east of there to the Black Sea), present-day Romania and Moldova, parts of Sarmatia (mostly in eastern Ukraine) and Scythia Minor in southeastern Europe (Romania and Bulgaria). They spoke the Dacian language, believed related to Thracian, but were influenced culturally by the neighbouring Scythians and by the Celtic invaders of the 4th century BC.
