- The settlement you are visiting is remarkably quiet with young women seemly few and far between.
- The place is scorched almost beyond all recognition.
- There are dragon paw prints all over the place.
- Those people you do come across are very nervous and startle at any noise that might resemble (a) fireworks and/or (b) someone starting a fire.
- All the settlement's gold seems to have mysteriously vanished and nobody seems to want to say where it went.
