You learned early that a clenched fist can be a language all its own. Maybe you fought for coin in smoke-filled taverns, survived pit fights in backwater settlements, worked docks where every payday ended in bruises, or protected your people by becoming the meanest soul in the alley.
You know how to take a hit, read a crowd itching for violence, and stand your ground when others fold like wet parchment.
For some, fighting is sport.
For you, it was survival.

Your reputation as a fighter precedes you in rough circles.
You can usually find:
- underground fighting pits,
- gambling dens,
- dockside taverns,
- mercenary hiring halls,
- or others connected to the world of organized violence.
Additionally, common toughs, laborers, pit fighters, and tavern crowds are often willing to:
- share rumors,
- offer cheap lodging,
- or hear you out before resorting to violence.
However, your reputation may also attract challengers, old rivals, debt collectors, or people eager to test themselves against you.
