The Battle of Lilou Bay was a decisive battle of the Ostian War of Independence. The battle was famous for the sheer amount of warships fielded by both sides, and was said to be one of the bloodiest days of the war, second only to the Great Forsaking of Harbrook, which would happen only a year later. The disappointed outcome of the battle, combined with the willingness of Lord Aldart Beake to surrender, led to the king personally sailing to Ostia to manage the conflict with his own hand.

| - The Battle of Lilou Bay was a decisive battle of the Ostian War of Independence. The battle was famous for the sheer amount of warships fielded by both sides, and was said to be one of the bloodiest days of the war, second only to the Great Forsaking of Harbrook, which would happen only a year later. The disappointed outcome of the battle, combined with the willingness of Lord Aldart Beake to surrender, led to the king personally sailing to Ostia to manage the conflict with his own hand. During the battle the commander William Duncargyll sent his Man-of-war, the Angel's Bounty, into the Astanién Man-of-war Triomphant, resulting in the death of the ship's captain when the figurehead of Duncargyll's vessel snapped off the sail, falling right on top of the man. The event has since become a legend amongst Vesryne sailors. Using its armament of two trebuchets, four ballistae and a complement of crossbowmen, the Triomphant was holed in the ensuing close quarters barrage and was left until it sank in the early hours of the morning after. Although the battle was a decisive tactical victory in favour of Saint-Astan, Beake and Duncargyll were able to escape with the remnants of the Vesryne fleet, but only after Brookes voluntarily stayed behind with the fire ships to halt the pursuit of Rochert de Meins and his navy.
