In a recent update from developer Rebel Wolves, we get a glimpse into the world of The Blood of Dawnwalker, a vampire RPG where silver plays a crucial role. The update focuses on Swartrow, the isolated capital of Sangor Valley, revealing why humanity has chosen to establish a settlement in such a remote location.

Swartrow's imposing cathedral and Graifberg Castle, perched dramatically atop cliffs, immediately stand out against the stark landscape. The question arises: why would anyone choose to live so far from civilization?
The answer lies in the abundance of silver veins within the surrounding mountains. This precious metal, with its alluring gleam, has drawn settlers to this isolated valley. The constant rhythmic clang of pickaxes from numerous mine entrances echoes through the valley, a testament to the tireless work fueling Swartrow's existence.
Graifberg Castle, prominently featured in the opening moments of the January 2025 trailer, appears to hold significant importance within the game's narrative. The update highlights the lucrative silver mining industry as the primary reason for Swartrow's establishment. Interestingly, local folklore suggests silver provides protection against vampires, making it both a valuable resource and a vital weapon in this dark world.
While Rebel Wolves hasn't yet announced a release date for The Blood of Dawnwalker, the game is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
