Flaming Fist

The Flaming Fist is a mercenary company headquartered in (and fiercely 
loyal to) Baldur's Gate. The Fist maintains a permanent stronghold in 
Chult at Fort Beluarian. From there, Flaming Fist patrols strike out 
into the jungle to "pacify" territory and claim lost treasures. The 
Flaming Fist has already plundered the ruins of Mezro. Now the 
mercenaries and their wealthy backers in Baldur's Gate would like 
nothing better than to do the same to Omu, but they've had no luck 
locating the lost city. The Flaming Fist's researchers are convinced the
 city lies south of Lake Luo but east of the Peaks of Flame, at the 
western end of the Valley of Dread. Because of the distance from Fort 
Beluarian, they're looking for adventurers to conduct an initial 
exploration of that area and locate what they believe will be mostly 
abandoned ruins.
The commander of Fort Beluarian and highest ranking 
member of the Flaming Fist in Chult is Liara Portyr. She holds the rank 
of blaze (major) and has complete autonomy in Chult, answering only to 
Duke Ulder Ravengard of Baldur's Gate. Portyr will happily assign some 
of her mercenaries to accompany adventurers by sea to Refuge Bay or even
 to Snapping Turtle Bay-either is an excellent starting point for any 
incursion into the western reach of the Valley of Dread.
Only six 
ranks are recognized within the Flaming Fist: fist (private), gauntlet 
(corporal), manip (sergeant), flame (lieutenant), blaze (major), and 
marshal (general).
