Fighters are an independent profession, so there is no organisation to progress through. However, there are communities and sub-professions they will be able to gain noteriety in, such as Show Fighting (Gladiators), Protection services (Bodyguard) or as a Mecernary (Adventurer for hire). Another common option is to join the military of one of the states, as a certification as a Fighter allows immediate higher ranks and better pay, though this does come with mandatory service and minimum terms.
