In a recent update from developer Rebel Wolves, we learn that silver plays a crucial role in The Blood of Dawnwalker, their upcoming vampire RPG. This focus is highlighted by the game's setting: Swartrow, the isolated capital of Sangor Valley.

Swartrow, with its imposing cathedral and Graifberg Castle perched dramatically on clifftops, feels strangely out of place in its remote location. But the reason for its existence, and the human settlement there, is clear: silver. The surrounding mountains are rich with silver veins, attracting settlers like a beacon. The constant sound of pickaxes echoing through the valley serves as a stark reminder of this vital industry.
Graifberg Castle, prominently featured in the January 2025 trailer, appears to hold significant importance. The update emphasizes the silver mines as the driving force behind Swartrow's existence, a resource made even more critical by folklore suggesting silver's protective properties against vampires. This makes silver both a valuable commodity and a vital weapon in the game's dark world.
While Rebel Wolves hasn't revealed a release date, The Blood of Dawnwalker is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
