what happens when the Attacker ended without any character on his/her attack?

[Peter13th 5]

Just want a clarification/official ruling when the Attacker ends without any character on his/her attack due to character been killed or returned to home.

The rules reference do mention the situation on unopposed defense but doesn't state any rulings when the opposite happens.

Do the defender wins and claim the ring? or the attacking player loose his/her attack and the ring is returned?

Thanks

Page 22 of the Rules Reference under 3.2.3 Compare skill values and determine result

If both players count 0 skill, the conflict resolves with no winner, and the ring is returned to the pool of unclaimed rings.

You just count skill as normal. 

If the attacker has no characters, his skill will be 0, and if the defender has more than that (by having any participating character with 1+ skill), then the defender wins and claim the ring as normal.
