<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The planned assault on [[Bracinta]] resolves in Chapter 21 of ''House of Open Wounds'' without a single engagement between attackers and defenders. The [[Lor|Loruthi]] force manning the city's defences withdraws before the attacking army reaches the walls, and the gates are opened to admit the advancing column; the entire operation yields one casualty, a soldier who trips into a rabbit burrow - ch 21. No siege is laid, no breach is made, and no combat with the garrison is recorded.<br />
<br />
As a narrative beat, the event's significance lies in its anticlimax: a military campaign that had been assembled and set in motion dissolves the moment it is presented to the defenders, who simply choose not to be there. The assault's resolution reframes the question of what the campaign was for, since the objective was achieved through absence rather than violence - ch 21.<br />
<br />
== The Event ==<br />
=== When & Where ===<br />
The assault takes place in Chapter 21 of ''House of Open Wounds'', at the walls and gates of [[Bracinta]]. The attacking force is marching on the city and is en route to the walls when the engagement resolves; no prior chapters record a siege or a breach preceding this moment - ch 21.<br />
<br />
=== Who Was Involved ===<br />
The parties are an unnamed attacking force advancing on the city, and the [[Lor|Loruthi]], who had been manning Bracinta's defences and who withdraw before the attackers arrive. The city's gates are opened to admit the column, though the source does not specify by whom the opening is carried out. A single soldier of the attacking force is injured by tripping into a rabbit burrow; no other casualties on either side are recorded - ch 21.<br />
<br />
=== What Happened ===<br />
An assault on Bracinta had been planned, and the attacking force marched toward the city. Before that force reached the walls, the Loruthi defenders withdrew. The gates of Bracinta were then opened, admitting the column without resistance. The sole casualty of the entire operation was a soldier who tripped into a rabbit burrow. No siege, no breach, and no engagement with defenders occurred - ch 21.<br />
<br />
=== Causes & Consequences ===<br />
The source records that the assault was "planned," indicating deliberate preparation, but does not detail the strategic calculations that set the force in motion or the Loruthi's reasons for withdrawing. The immediate consequence is that Bracinta falls under the control of the attacking force without a fight; the only material cost is the one soldier's fall. What changes for the people inside the city, or for the wider campaign, is not addressed in the section available - ch 21.<br />
