The only one I can recall seeing is the one with the wooden sign that
is (apparently) to be seen as you near the Freehold on a footpath,
with stuff about having various food and drink for sale, payments
taken in kind and having "Free Kittens" to give away . . . then the
little "skull-and-crossed-bones" warning at the bottom against leaving
the path, because the fields are mined.

That is, the sign implies a stereotypical post-apocalyptic plot . . .
which is more or less the truth, until about halfway in.
