The whole Rondlero thing is throwing me off Taldor. It seems odd that a culture where the Falcata and buckler, not to mention war elephants and phalanxes, are popular would entertain rapier wielding bravados. Perhaps its a 'new phase' wherein the old romanesque stuff is more traditional and slowing losing favor.

Rondolero is Falcata & Buckler style iirc, while Aldori use longswords afaik. but since he OP didn't specify rapier, they might both be dashing/swashbucklerish duelists.
Apparently Korvosa (Varisia) has swashbuckling rapier duelists. Check out the short story The fencing master by Dave Gross for more info.
Also port cities, pirate cities etc.
