The majestic cathedral and Graifberg Castle, perched dramatically atop the jagged cliffs, immediately command attention. Their presence in such a remote location, miles from any other civilization, begs the question: why here? The answer, as revealed by Rebel Wolves, is the abundance of silver veins within the surrounding mountains. This precious metal, its gleam drawing settlers like moths to a flame, fuels Swartrow's existence. The constant rhythmic clang of pickaxes echoing through the valley serves as a constant reminder of this vital industry.

Graifberg Castle, prominently featured in the opening moments of the January 2025 trailer, appears to hold a significant role in the game's narrative. The lucrative silver mines are the undeniable driving force behind Swartrow's establishment, a fact emphasized in the recent update. Interestingly, folklore within the game’s world suggests silver offers protection against vampires, making it both a valuable resource and a potent weapon in this dark, supernatural setting.

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.
