Invasions

Invasions are special adventures within Aelion that revolve around new maps released weekly. During an invasion, these maps will guide players through a complicated series of steps that will help repel invading armies. The maps released depend heavily upon the species of the invading army, where it is they are attacking, and whether or not they have a special purpose. Some races of alien invaders have specific maps, while others vary. Avatars fought during the Invasion instance reward basic items, but both eradicator bonuses, and credit rewards are increased above levels normally found in regular play.

Avatars are the single most powerful enemy boss of an invading army. Often interdimensional gods representing personal interests on a far flung quarter of the universe, Avatars arrive on the 3rd week of an Invasion Campaign and come in two forms: Training and Champion. Training Avatars are much simpler to defeat than their Championship cousins. Training Avatars can be fought twice a week and offer set rewards to finalists that see the instance to completion. Champion Avatars however, demand a higher level of prestige and player coordination. Champion Avatars are reserved for players that have achieved end-game level content and reward players in a successful run with an Avatar Trophy.

Demon Invasion

demons

Demons are astral creatures – conceived, as far as we know, in worlds broken apart by astral. Astral is an atmosphere that is considered to be a disease of space itself, in which the regular laws of physics are altered, making astral deadly for pretty much any being from this Universe – except for Demons. Astral can be found in space in the form of giant clouds, left from the creation of the Universe. It can also accumulate inside planets, in areas with large disruptions of ether. Relatively small quantities of astral cannot damage a planet and will simply disperse over time, under the pressure of the surrounding matter.
