The '''Siege of Kholinar''' and the ensuing battle inside [[Kholinar Palace]] are a major event in the [[True Desolation]].

 

Voidbringer forces have gathered outside of Kholinar, taking control of nearby villages and forcing the local populace into obedience while waiting for the rest of their hosts to arrive.

 

In the siege leading up to the main assault the Voidbringers used various siege tactics to weaken and test the cities defences. Upon the arrival of Moash's group refugees were released by the Voidbringers in order to further encumber the besieged city which was already running low on food. In order to prevent communication with Urithiru and the other allied human forces the Voidbringers deployed a variety of of Voidspren referred to as Screamers to detect the use of fabrials within the city, particularly spanreeds. These spren can detect the use of fabrials and investiture within the city and upon detection emit their namesake scream to alert nearby scouting Fused. The Fused would then strike at the point to neutralise the source. The Fused were also shown to engage in raids on the city walls in order to gauge the cities' defences which were primarily maintained by Highmarshal Azure and the Wall Guard.
