Revision 1

Overview

Silberkreis is the wealthiest district in Vale Sangora, sitting closest to Greifberg castle within the city of Svartrau. The district's name, which translates roughly to "silver circle," reflects both its proximity to the ruling power and the silver mining wealth that built the valley's economy. Each named region in the game has its own distinct atmosphere, layout, and faction presence, and Silberkreis is no exception.

The cathedral

The cathedral in Silberkreis featured prominently in Rebel Wolves' press demonstrations at Gamescom 2025. The demo showed a quest with two distinct approaches depending on the time of day. At night, Coen infiltrates the cathedral and encounters the ancient vampire Xanthe, who uses Shadowstep abilities to move through the building. During the day, the same location presents a different scenario entirely: Coen searches for Saint Mihai's legendary sword and fights Muron, a creature born from a failed vampire transformation.

Day and night contrast

Like the rest of Svartrau, Silberkreis transforms between day and night. Daytime brings bustling medieval commerce and relative safety. After dark, Brencis's soldiers patrol the streets and the Vrakhiri hold sway. The notoriety system also affects movement through the district: higher notoriety draws more patrols and may trigger curfews that restrict access.

Relationship to other districts

Silberkreis contrasts sharply with The Middens, another named region in the game world. Where Silberkreis represents wealth and proximity to power, The Middens occupies a rougher, more neglected part of the valley. The game uses this contrast to reflect the social stratification that Brencis's regime has imposed on the population.
