A History of the Flaming Fist.

Founded by Eltan (who was at that time Grand Duke of the city of Baldur's Gate), the Flaming Fist are difficult to categorise.

They are a standing army, a police force, a band of mercenaries, and a troupe of explorers. They are scholars who have inculcated order and law, and they are soldiers who have slaughtered the guilty and the innocent alike under banners of orange and scarlet.

Equally vexing for the historian are their sociological implications - the Fist have been at some times corrupt and at others virtuous. In that way making a friend of the Fist is buying a packaged loaf. Who knows if the dough is delicious or the crust is poisoned?
