May 06, 2011 19:40:58 After I realized that the Flaming Fists are a major player arround Baldur's Gate (based on the LFR adventures and the Campaign Setting) I come to ask myself what influence the Flaming Fists company of mercenaries has on the rest of the Realms?
I presume that they have a huge one on the southern Sword Coast (Beregost and Nashkel aspecially), but I am not sure about the nothern part or even the rest of Faerûn.
Has anyone information about this or good ideas what's to do with this organisation?

Thanks for helping

They're not THE mercenary company of the Realms anymore, that would be the Zhents now. It could be that there are some smaller groups of Flaming Fists here and there across the Realms, but more n likely I think Manshoon would of taken in these groups as his own or eleminated the competition.

So thats pretty much how I see it, the Flaming Fist is the police force in and around Baldur's Gate but they dont act much as mercenaries any more. But its your Realms, how ever you want to go about it would be fine, ya know?
