Roight, so I was indirectly asked about the world outside the League. I think some of the thread underestimated Lorelei's personal knowledge, or at least its reliability. Part of that is a definite self-inflicted wound on my part; I'd assumed relaying IC knowledge wasn't really important with you traveling into the League, which you knew nothing about.
Travel time is your biggest problem. You'll have your pick of weak Inspired to pick off once you go far enough in practically any direction, but until then, you don't see a good reason not to stop somewhere along the way. Six hours spent looting is relatively insignificant when you'll be spending entire days on horseback.
If you travel straight north, you should reach a trail of towns and cities. You could easily pick one of them to hide in for a few months, wait for your parents to assume you're somewhere else.
If you go north-northwest, you should be able to get to the fortress of one of the late allies of your family. Ordinarily, you would keep far, far away from any such place, but some Blackburn or another sent a giant clockwork snail through their defenses a few weeks ago. You expect some scavengers will have already marked the presence of several traps via dying. You're reasonably confident in your ability to disable, dismantle, and repurpose anything you know about, given sufficient time. Really, the biggest worry is catching the eye of whatever Blackburn ultimately killed him. Hopefully, they won't be interested in girls.
Going east would put you in the territory of some of your family's closest allies, the Holtzers, but their current family head is a senile old fool. Their perimeter defenses should recognize you and allow you passage, at which point they'll be at your mercy. It'll anger your parents no end, sure, but it would let you steal quite a bit of usable equipment in a short amount of time.
In general, North, Northeast, and East are well within your general knowledge; you've certainly visited those directions in the past. The areas in question are relatively safe for the average citizen provided you don't catch the attention of whatever noble house maintains peace in the area. All of the noble houses theoretically answer to a single king, but all he really does is slap one of them down if they torch the countryside while trying to take down another noble house. There are plenty of towns with around ten to fifteen times as many supporting villages, nearly all of the latter dedicated to farming.
"North-Northwest" is closer to just being north of you now, but you can always ignore the tower. Northwest from your current location should be similar until you start approaching the sea; supposedly, coastal peoples are blunter than most, but end up relying on Inspired to fight off the various monsters and warclocks made by past Inspired.
(It'd be easier for me if I had more specific questions to answer, I admit. I can't just copy-paste from notes since that's filled with economic data and other details Lorelei doesn't know. Use @Alivaril, Luke!)
Since this extra knowledge may tip the scales toward "wanna flee," I'd also like to point out that massive groups of people gathered outside cities don't really grow on trees. Even in the places to the east where people live
in trees, those are technically towns and cities. Doing something with the army wasn't listed as a default option not because it's an inherently bad idea, but because it'd be an especially bad idea to go in
without a plan. Of course, even a plan might not completely mitigate the risks, etc., no comment, etc. You also think there's a pretty good chance the very nature of the League will make it more difficult for your parents to pursue you further west.
EDIT: I'd like to note that you'd need a
weighted (against) confirmation vote to stop by the Blackburn tower even if you do abandon ship and go north, so that's not really a good reason to go for it at all.
