if you took the spy specialization (or the idea of a cutthroat butler or something appeals to you.) You may take this feature, your line of work has made you many friends, and many enemies you have dirt on most of the nobles in the ream and can gain simple favors from them, information, temporary lodging, horses for a short trip ect. however you must sleep with one eye open as said nobles do not appreciate being blackmailed
