I've gotten about five questions about the Sasarans lately. I thought I'd just post my standard response here.
HI there.
Okay I want you to close your eyes a moment and picture a city full of athletic males who pride themselves on fitness and training. Where do those males go to hang out and spar? They go to the Sasarans. They are like the ultimate hangout for all skill levels. You can find people to spar there with (just make up a partner!) any time of day ... day in and day out. They don't cost anything. And they let you get to know people who roam the city. The more you fight there the more you get to have a bit of respect. If you're rowdy, the boys will throw you out. Women are there occasionally too, though they find that partners are harder to find and the Akalak are reluctant to treat them as equals (they pull punches a lot and try to train them rather than spar with them). If it needs cleaning, grab a broom.... someone will show up with snacks and some good mead if the fight day turns into a chore day.
One is for Unarmed. One is for Armed. Weapons are on loan all the time there at the weapon's sasaran, but they must remain at the Sassaran. There's all kinds of training equipment too. Think of a gym situation.
Hope that helps?
