The Flaming Fist is the largest and most powerful mercenary company in all of Faerûn. The Fist is based in the city of Baldur's Gate on the Sword Coast, where its members serve as a guard within the city. They also work out of this city, going down just south of Beregost but stopping before Nashkel.[citation needed] The organization is run by Duke Eltan, one of the four Grand Dukes of Baldur's Gate.[1]

While the Fist's base of operations is in the city of Baldur's Gate, they have other forts and establishments in Anchorome, Chult and Tethyr.[2] The latter of which has proven to be a source for recent hires by Duke Eltan during their decades-long civil war. [3]

By 1479 DR The Flaming Fist's had changed from a mercenary group to the police and military force of Baldur's Gate[4].
