Renowned Duelist

“ A city has been under siege for 6 months. Causalities on both sides are rapidly rising. Two duelist’s from the opposite sides of each army step forward in a already pre disclosed location. One from the invading Human army and the other from the defending Elf city. After a few courtesies the duel begins. The larger Human  dominates the smaller Elf . And with one stab of of the humans rapier the siege had ended”

Most Duelist come from well established noble families who wanted to train one or multiple of there offspring in the art of dueling. A few come from not so noble families. These poorer folk were able to prove there willingness and skill to a master swordsmen. One thing all of duelist share is the ambition to beat the best and win glory through victory.
