Avernus - Rumors of Elturel
As Descent Into Avernus begins, the city of Elturel has fallen, sending waves of desperate refugees down the Chionthar River to overwhelm the resources of beleaguered Baldur's Gate. The true story of what happened is detailed in the adventure, but in such times of confusion and chaos it is likely that many stories - some based in a faulty understanding of the truth, others being entirely fabrication - will be flying around.
