Mivon's most valuable exports are its
mercenaries. Anyone seeking hired protection or soldiers
of fortune would do well to consult the leaders of one
of Mivon's noble Houses in Exile, who select the finest
duelists from their ranks every year to serve and fight for
the highest bidder-the profits going into that House's
coffers. It's not uncommon for different Houses of Mivon
to fight on opposite sides of the same war, and those
Mivoni who garner respect in the dueling ring are sure
to be selected by House leaders for contract work. Aldori
(and those who hope to join their ranks) often become
adventurers to hone their skills and prove themselves
worthy of the title of swordlord.

Зачем только на войне нужны дуэлисты, когда там важнее строем ходить с пикой? Ну, может их как спецназ используют, или как личную охрану полководцев

Там речь все-же про войны идет, а не про уличные драки
