Hold Connection
As an agent of your liegelord, you can always get food and lodging for yourself and your friends in your hold. When your liegelord assigns you a mission, they will usually provide you with the necessary supplies and transportation. Beyond this, you have many old friends, mentors, and rivals in your hold, and you may encounter one of them when you interact with a hold business. The degree to which such acquaintances are willing to help you depends on your current standing in your hold. Housecarl
Your legielord will have a housecarl, a powerful warrior dedicated to thier protection. You may be able to convince your legielord or thier housecarl themselves to come to your aid. If the task is of importance, such as one of your missions, however the housecarl will never want to stray to far from their lord's side.
