The Battle off North Beacon's shores was a significant naval battle during Aerel's Invasion. It resulted in the failure of the naval invasion of northern Auridon and the destruction of the Arana fleet, and most of the Rilis fleet.

Prelude[]

Aerel Arana made known his intentions of conquering the Summerset Archipelago and unifying the five kingdoms under his rule. Lady Daenyra Lannar was sent to capture the city of North Beacon, which would provide a northern foothold to use for further conquests. Aerel's sister Alyssare Arana was sent to accompany Daenyra on gryphonback.

The Battle[]

The Rilis' and Rolynns hastily assembled a fleet to meet the Aranas.

The Arana and Rilis fleets met in the waters off North Beacon. The Rilis' were able to destroy the Arana fleet and Lady Daenyra was killed during the battle. Alyssare's gryphon, Rhea, destroyed over half the Rilis fleet in response, though she was forced to withdraw due to the deadly precision of incoming arrowfire. The battle was a tactical draw since both fleets were all but destroyed, though a strategic defeat for the Aranas since they were unable to take North Beacon.

Aftermath[]

Though the Aranas lost the battle, Aerel was able to continue marching northward, claiming castles and keeps as he went. North Beacon was later besieged, though was never breached before King Sandur III Rilis bent the knee to Aerel.
