The Talisman of Charlemagne is a legendary artifact that is said to have belonged to Charlemagne, the great medieval emperor of the Franks. According to the legend, the talisman was a powerful amulet that protected Charlemagne in battle and granted him extraordinary powers. The exact nature and appearance of the talisman vary in different accounts, but it is often described as a small object, such as a ring or necklace, imbued with magical properties. Some legends claim that the talisman was made from a specific stone, such as the Philosopher's Stone or a piece of the True Cross. The talisman is said to have bestowed various abilities upon its wearer, including enhanced strength, invincibility in battle, and the ability to communicate with animals. It was also believed to provide guidance and wisdom, helping Charlemagne make wise decisions and lead his empire to greatness.

In this cozy life sim you can only farm at night because you're a shapeshifting witch vampire
Moonlight Peaks is a nocturnal farm sim where you'll harvest cursed crops and make supernatural friends.
Listen up, witches. We've got another magical farm sim in the forecast. You'll truly be a mage of all trades in Moonlight Peaks because you're not only a farmer but also a witch and also a vampire. And that's not even the full suite of supernaturals living in town. You're putting down roots so you can prove to your disapproving dad Dracula "that a life of compassion is possible."
Moonlight Peaks certainly hits the farm sim checklist: there are crops (cursed, apparently), cooking, fishing, seasonal events, friendships and romance, and decorating. Oh, and you can shapeshift to explore the town. It has an Animal Crossing kind of cuteness to it with tiny 3D characters and plump, colorful crops.
(Image credit: Little Chicken)Since you're a vampire, this all takes place after dark, so you'll be well-acquainted with the opposite end of the 24-hour clock from a typical farm sim. You'll also be getting to know the other witches, werewolves, mermaids, and humans in town. There appear to be cursed chickens and pigs (and googly-eye rocks?) though not for eating. Moonlight Peaks says that your diet is mainly "cursed crops" presumably because raising the other thing vampires are known to have a taste for (humans) wouldn't really help you stick it to Count Dadula.
Developer Little Chicken has also shown just a bit of potion brewing, which looks like it may play a part in developing extra special crops. And since automation is important for industrious farm simmers, there's a spell for enchanting your watering can to do its own job. There also appears to be quite a lot of freedom in your ability to decorate the outdoor space of your property. Some farm sims keep your actual crop plots and customizing space limited, so I'm quite happy to see all the player choice in custom paths, fences, tilled area, and decor.
Moonlight Peaks doesn't have a release date or window chosen yet, saying back in June that it's "still in early development," which I'd wager means it's not coming this year. This is one I'll be chucking into my wishlist on Steam to keep up with as it gets closer.
This event is often attributed to the talisman's protective powers being absent. The Talisman of Charlemagne holds a prominent place in medieval legends and folklore, and it continues to capture the imagination of many today. Countless stories and myths have been written about its powers and significance, and it remains a symbol of Charlemagne's greatness and the legendary stories associated with his reign. Overall, the Talisman of Charlemagne is a fascinating artifact that represents the intersection of history, mythology, and magic. While its existence and true nature remain enigmatic, its legend continues to captivate and intrigue..
