[An excerpt on page 37 is circled in red.]
There can be no doubt that the patriar families of the Upper City affect such an air of reserve and respectability because they are all too aware that their fortunes are founded on bloodshed, pillage, and exploitation. No one speaks now of Xeremiah Eltan, who founded the Flaming Fist as a ruthless mercenary company that slaughtered and burned for pay along the entire length of the 
Sword Coast. No one mentions Baronne Ilza Bormul and the blood-spattered ingots shipped north from her slave-labour mines in the mountains of Amn. The schoolbooks don't mention Bogo Sashenstar's Bone Flotilla that plundered Aster Cove and abducted the port's entire population.
