Moonlight Peaks Town Progress & Seven Families Guide
Official seven-family story arc, homestead repair in the demo, and Town Rank / renown numbers pending in-game verification — retail live 2026-07-07.
Quick Answer
moonlightpeaks.com (The Families) and Steam both frame restoring light to Moonlight Peaks through seven supernatural families — confirmed marketing arc, not a Fields of Mistria-style Town Rank meter. content/families.json publishes 7 family rows — Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Mermaids, Normies, Seers, and a seventh family whose name is still TBC. 16 published NPC rows index on /villagers; V8 official roster graphic names 23 romanceable characters across the families. Preview and demo coverage show early homestead cleanup plus mailbox quests before deeper town arcs unlock. We leave renown points, family quest chains, and rank tables blank until in-game verification — retail is live (2026-07-07 ). See /release-date#steam-july-6-vs-7 for date display.

Town progress checkpoints
Seven families · demo flow · what we omit
- Step 1Anchor on official seven-family story
moonlightpeaks.com The Families page and Steam both frame restoring light to Moonlight Peaks through seven supernatural families — confirmed marketing arc, not a numbered Town Rank ladder. The family index publishes 7 rows: Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Mermaids, Normies, Seers (reported), and a seventh family name TBC. Lore depth lives on /families-guide; 16 named cast rows index on /villagers as they verify.
- Step 2Demo flow: homestead then mailbox
PCGamesN PAX East preview (T2) and Marvelous June 2026 demo PR (T1) describe Fiona pointing you to mailbox quests after abandoned homestead cleanup — gather wood, stone, and fiber before wider town arcs. RPGamer hands-on confirms the same pacing. Matches /beginner-guide; no confirmed renown UI in session coverage.
- Step 3Family roster links families.json SSOT
Each family row in families.json carries a representativeNpcs array — Vampires (count-dracula, orlock, viktor, evan-ambrosia), Werewolves (logan, saga, brook-logan), Witches (fiona, luna), Normies (mina), Seers (alina). Mermaids and the seventh family have no named published members. catalogFamilyMap maps NPC family tags so /villagers rows stay consistent with the seven-family SSOT.
- Step 4Town progress vs /villagers index
This page tracks town-wide story framing and system boundaries. /villagers lists 16 published NPC rows with source labels — use it for cast lookup, not per-family task spreadsheets we have not confirmed. Romance scale (23 V8 roster · T2 reported · ~24 Steam marketing) routes to /romance-guide.
- Step 5No Fields of Mistria-style Town Rank table
Verified negative — official materials (moonlightpeaks.com, Steam) do not name a Fields of Mistria-style rank meter, renown point totals, or family-by-family quest chains. We omit those columns rather than invent progression numbers; no FoM analogy is presented as fact.
- Step 6Retail build watch
We'll refresh catalog quest rows, family member arrays, and this guide as the retail build verifies them — same pipeline as potion recipes and gift tiers elsewhere on the site.
