The Wagons Bearing Wounded first appear in Deadhouse Gates as the Seventh's dedicated hospital train, a mobile field infirmary that travels separately from the main refugee columns. Across the series, these wagons evolve from mere transport for the injured into a symbol of the Malazan military's strained logistics and the human cost of endless campaigns. Their presence underscores the Seventh's dwindling strength and the Empire's inability to properly care for its soldiers, transforming from a practical necessity into a haunting reminder of war's toll.
