Liara Portyr

Liara Portyr (pronounced: /liˈɑːrɑː pɔːrˈtɪər/ lee-AR-ah por-TEER) was the commander of Fort Beluarian and the highest-ranking member of the Flaming Fist in Chult in the late 15th century DR. She answered only to Duke Ulder Ravengard of Baldur's Gate. Liara was a hard-hearted and dedicated leader who held high respect for militaristic order. She saw hardships as challenges for her to overcome. She admired those who took up the adventuring life. She supported those who operated within her jurisdictional area of Chult, and assisted them with overcoming obstacles they faced. Liara was born to the well-off Portyr family of Baldur's Gate, niece of Duke Dillard Portyr. She was assigned to the post of Fort Beluarian three years before the death curse afflicted Toril. During her command, she struck a deal with the pirates of Jahaka Anchorage, ensuring extra wealth for her and her soldiers, along with safe passage for Baldurian vessels. When Grand Duke Ravengard became trapped in Elturgard during the city's descent into Avernus in the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, Liara Portyr was summoned back to Baldur's Gate to take lead of the Flaming Fist .
