Battle of Kirfaan
The Battle of Kirfaan of 10 PC, or the Battle of Krifaanko (Battle of Kirfaan Bay) was a naval bombardment of anchored Fiergish ships at Kirfaan. Zragar Bhalthalo ybn Darmilcar-Malchus Yhl-Maccal managed to destroy over 100 Fiergish ships and retreated with minimal casualties.
The Conflict
Prelude
Following the Battle of Qurthi, the Fiergish navy retreated to Kirfaan and focused on protecting and rebuilding their positions. Meanwhile reconstruction of the Duryadi fleet brought its strength up to 166 vessels. With this fleet Zragar Maccal and Narkul Maccal set sail from Niarulhar on 29 Eleint. Roberto Marzal Driadialor's small flotilla joined them the following day and together they advanced towards Kirfaan. They reached the estuary of Iejir River on 4 Marpenoth and received news of 500 Fiergish vessels anchored at Kirfaan.
Outcome
Zragar Maccal originally intended to destroy all the remaining Fiergish ships, however, he realized that doing so would effectively trap the Fiergish soldiers inside the Thrakiot Archipelago, where they would travel inland and slaughter the natives. Therefore, Maccal left a small number of Fiergish ships unharmed and withdrew his navy to resupply. And just as Maccal suspected, under the cover of darkness, the remaining Fiergish soldiers boarded their remaining ships and retreated.
