You know where to find a safe place to lie low when things get rough when beyond the boarders of your nation. Whether it be a secret cove, a hidden cashe or a sympathetic inn keeper or farmer, these places can provide you with a safe place to rest, resupply and aquire fresh horses.
Being in the crown's employ, you are protected from foreign agents while within your homeland's boarders, but not at the risk of an international incident.
