The Battle at Kalodin was a major naval engagement in the War of the Velaran Succession, fought on 15 November 1769. A joint Arimathean-Trellinese fleet under admirals Kerhnai Eloradi and Tizarek Er'hani encountered the bulk of the Velaran navy, under Admiral Ransal Vilursa, off the northern coast of Morikz where they waited en route to Jajich.
The battle was the largest naval engagement of the war, with over three dozen ships of the line between the two sides. It was the first and most important victory for the Trellinese and Arimatheans at sea, and it crippled the ability of Prince Miró's navy to remain on the offensive. After Kalodin, their fleets would almost exclusively act in a supporting role for their armies, unable to stray too far from Velaran waters.
