Most code is written in WML, although there is also a large amount of custom WML tags and auxiliary logic written in Lua. The player controls both Elves and Undead from the Default Era, and primarily fights against units created for the Chaos faction of Extended Era (Wesnoth 1.3.x version), as well as an assortment of original units including demons and Shaxthals. The campaign takes place a few centuries after the events of Under the Burning Suns, and to this day remains considered one of the most influential fan-made sequels to it. With the aid of an unlikely ally, they head towards the Heart Mountains in search of two figures of legends said to hold the key to vanquishing the demonic hordes: the Master of Darkness, and the Lady of Light. Invasion from the Unknown follows the elves of the Valley of Elynia as they survive the invasion of the legions of Inferno and brave the perils of the post-apocalyptic barrens of Irdya.
