An invasion is a GameMaster-controlled surge of creatures usually in a town or immediately surrounding area. Invasions are often connected to storylines or the traditional holidays (e.g. turkeys in Wehnimer's Landing on Thanksgiving). During an invasion the justice system will usually be disabled, allowing for more dangerous spells to be used in town.
