In capturing the Castle, they had also captured Hector's daughter Lillia, they planned to use her as a hostage to convince those aposed to surrendering to Bern to give in.

Terrain
The battle of Chapter 7: The Rebellion of Ostia, takes place in the city of Ostia, just outside Castle Ostia. The battle map is dominated by houses, which mainly cover the lower right side of the map.

The player's units are deployed in the southern edge of the, slightly to the left. Directly ahead of the deployment area is the Arena, around which is dozens of Forested spaces that can used for defensive positions. To the left side of the deployment is two houses that can be visted, one more to the south which contains a Torch Staff. The other house, to the north-west of the deployment and left of the Arena gives a Longbow when visited.

To the eastern side of the deployment area is a large number of houses. Many of these houses can be visted and will give out items and weapons. There is four rows of houses (each row being north of the other) each with three houses. These are the gifts given out at the houses:

- Bottom Row, First House From Left = Killing Edge - 2nd Row From Bottom, Second House From Left = Physic - 2rd Row From Bottom, Third House From Left = Hero Crest - 3rd Row From Bottom, Second House From Left = Rem Gem - Top Row, Second House From Left = Elixer - Top Row, Third House From Left = Knight Killer

In the northern part of the map a large wall divides the Town from the Castle. The wall can be passed in two areas. The first is a two-spaced door directly north of the area (and thus also directly north of the player's deployment area), this can be opened by the theif Chad with his Lockpick. The second entrance is a single spaced entrance in the wall to the east end of the wall, it is always acesible and requires no opening of any kind.

On the oposite side of the wall is a small portion of Castle Ostia. There is two sections of the Castle that reach out onto the map. The first is a small room in the north-eastern corner of the map just north of the single-spaced gap in the wall, the room is blocked by a door and that contains two treasure chests. The treasure chests contain a Rapier, which Roy can use, and a Barrier Staff.

The other section of the Castle that appears on the map is in the north-western corner of the map. It is where the boss Devias waits on a Throne.
