Nestled deep within Sangor Valley, Swartrow, the capital city in Rebel Wolves' upcoming vampire RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker, presents a captivating mystery: why would humanity choose such an isolated location to settle? A recent developer update reveals the answer lies in the very heart of the valley – silver.

The majestic cathedral and Graifberg Castle, perched atop the jagged cliffs of Swartrow, immediately command attention. Their presence in this remote region, miles from any other settlement, hints at a compelling reason for its establishment. The answer, as revealed by Rebel Wolves, is the abundance of silver veins within the surrounding mountains. The constant rhythmic clang of pickaxes echoing through the valley day and night serves as a testament to the tireless mining operations that have drawn settlers to this isolated haven.
Graifberg Castle, prominently featured in the opening moments of the January 2025 trailer, appears to hold a significant role within the game's narrative. The update emphasizes the lucrative silver mining industry as the primary driver of Swartrow's human population. Intriguingly, local folklore suggests that silver offers protection against vampires, making it not just a valuable resource, but also a crucial weapon in this world of darkness.
While Rebel Wolves hasn't yet announced a release date, The Blood of Dawnwalker is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
