Environment / verisimilitude notes (sights, sounds, smells, catch-phrases, etc.), hopefully ~3 for various senses.

One or two recent bits of news, or at least stories that the locals tell to impress adventurers. ("Let me tell you about the hydra that got hunted ten years back. Lord Woebegone stayed right at this inn, so we got a good look at his troops and their magic weapons, including his own famous Spear of ___..." etc.)
Thanks. How much of this is (relatively) generic? Or do you generate it for each settlement individually based on the campaign at hand?
