Near the end of the [[War of Reckoning]], [[Aesudan]]'s negligence and [[Pai]]'s accusations caused the city to erupt in riots. The [[Kholinar Wall Guard]] managed to restore order to the city and exiled all parshmen beyond its limits before the first [[Everstorm]] arrived. Soon afterward, the Fused gathered the transformed parshmen and began the [[siege of Kholinar]]. With high numbers of refugees coming in from the entire princedom and silence from the palace, the city quickly became overwhelmed, with various services collapsing and gangs roaming the city. The chief forces within Kholinar at the time were the Wall Guard and the Cult of Moments. In addition, the city was under the influence of two [[Unmade]], [[Ashertmarn]] - who influenced the Cult of Moments and caused the breakdown of the Lighteye structures in the city, and [[Sja-anat]], who corrupted the various spren.
 
While the city's defenses and command structure had all but collapsed, the Wall Guard had taken up its defense under the command of Highmarshal [[Azure]]. However, they were focused almost exclusively on the external threats. In the city, spren reacted strongly to any use of stormlightStormlight, including spanreeds and soulcasters. This, along with the threat of Fused attacks, made outside communication impossible, and Soulcasting was only made possible by metal plates provided by [[Hoid|Wit]], seemingly made of aluminum, that prevented detection. The Guard's single soulcasterSoulcaster was able to keep them and much of the city fed.
 
When the strike team, along with [[Azure]], attempt to retake the Oathgate, a Thunderclast breached the walls and the Voidbringers broke into the city. While the team managed to reach the Oathgates, they were unable to activate it properly, and Kholinar was overrun.
