Nestled deep within Sangor Valley, Swartrow, the capital city in Rebel Wolves' upcoming vampire RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker, stands as a testament to humanity's resilience. A recent developer update reveals the compelling reason behind its isolated location: silver.

Dominating the jagged cliffs, Swartrow's imposing cathedral and Graifberg Castle are immediately striking. Their presence in such a remote area begs the question: why here? The answer, quite simply, is silver. The surrounding mountains are rich with veins of the precious metal, its alluring gleam drawing settlers to this seemingly inhospitable valley. The constant clang of pickaxes echoing from numerous mine entrances throughout the rocky hillsides paints a vivid picture of tireless work, a relentless pursuit of this vital resource.
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 clearly highlights the silver mining industry as the driving force behind Swartrow's existence. Interestingly, local folklore adds another layer to the silver's significance, suggesting it offers protection against vampires, making it both a valuable resource and a crucial weapon in this dark world.
While Rebel Wolves hasn't yet announced a release date, The Blood of Dawnwalker is slated to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
