Staying true to its vampire RPG heritage, The Blood of Dawnwalker gives silver a central role, as detailed in a recent developer update from Rebel Wolves. The studio's latest insights explore Swartrow, the capital of Sangor Valley, revealing why humans would settle in such a remote region.

First-time visitors to Swartrow can't miss the imposing cathedral and Graifberg Castle standing watch atop rugged cliffs. These grand structures feel strangely out of place in this isolated corner of the world, far removed from any other civilization. So what keeps people tethered to this desolate place?

The answer gleams in the mountains - silver. The surrounding peaks are laced with rich veins of the precious metal, its cold shimmer having drawn settlers like moths to flame. Mine entrances pockmark the rocky hillsides while the constant clang of picks against stone echoes through the valley, creating an eerie rhythm like prisoners tapping on cell walls.

Graifberg Castle appears pivotal to the game's narrative, featuring prominently within the first minute of the official January 2025 trailer. The latest update confirms that silver mining forms the economic backbone of Swartrow. Interestingly, local legends claim silver possesses protective qualities against vampires, making the metal both valuable commodity and vital weapon in this shadowy world.

Rebel Wolves currently hasn't announced a projected release window for The Blood of Dawnwalker. When it arrives, the game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
