Duellists are famous for their fighting prowess, either with hand-to-hand weapons such as swords or with missile weapons. The Duellist's favourite weapons are the fencing sword and the duelling pistol, a primitive and unreliable gunpowder weapon, whose propensity to explode does not endear it to sane people. Duellists, however, seem to relish the added danger. They follow a very precise code of behaviour and conducting a duel in the correct manner is almost more important than actually winning it; Duellists tend to be arrogant and contemptuous of lesser mortals and are always ready to demand instant satisfaction for any slight or insult, real or imagined. Many are the younger sons of noble families, who have turned to duelling for excitement. Their activities do not endear them to the authorities, but in most parts of the Old World duels are not actually illegal and Duellists are protected by a number of archaic unrepealed laws.
