Descent into Avernus

Elturel is a city-state lying on the River Chionthar in the Western Heartlands. It is a center for agriculture and trade in the region, and is renowned for its elite mounted defenders, the Hellriders.[14][8][9][10][2] In the late 15th century DR, it was the capital of the realm of Elturgard, a theocracy of Torm the True and defended by its paladin knighthood, the Order of the Companion.[1][15][16]
