Upon entering Swartrow, the striking views of the majestic cathedral and Graifberg Castle, perched atop jagged cliffs, captivate visitors. These imposing structures, set miles away from any other settlement, beg the question: what draws people to such a secluded place?

The answer is silver. The mountains encircling Swartrow are rich with veins of this precious metal, its allure drawing settlers irresistibly. The landscape is peppered with mine entrances, and the constant sound of pickaxes striking rock reverberates through the valley, a haunting reminder of the miners' relentless pursuit.

Graifberg Castle takes center stage in *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, prominently featured in the game's official trailer released in January 2025. The latest update underscores the primary reason for Swartrow's human habitation: the thriving silver mining industry. Additionally, folklore within the game posits that silver provides protection against vampires, making it not only a valuable resource but also a crucial weapon in this dark, supernatural world.

While Rebel Wolves has yet to announce an official release date for *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, anticipation builds as the game is slated to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. This immersive RPG promises to delve deep into the lore and mechanics surrounding silver, offering players a rich and engaging experience in the heart of Sangor Valley.
