My group is finally starting RoT and we are going into the first Council Meeting.
I've decided running the ToD layered with parts of the Sundering, SKT and OotA in the background.
The Sundering means the Lords' Alliance is split with Sir Isteval predominantly concerned with the effects of the Chosen and the rest worried about ToD.
Elminster is more worried about assisting in Mystra's and the Weave's return (which is a good enough reason why someone so powerful remains absent from the story).
The Zhentarim are preoccupied with losing agents in the Underdark and have noticed some changes there.
The Cult attempts to stop any efforts at an alliance between the small folk and the giants which results in the fallout from SKT.
The party now has to choose where to focus their attention - determining which threat is more pressing, while multiple adventuring parties/factions attempt to deal with all the unfolding events.
Some are attempting to find the Teleportation Circles in the Greypeak mountains, others are attending to the raids in Goldenfields (specifically Emerald Enclave) and Triboar, one is investigating the Underdark (Zhentarim), another is following the lead about the Sea of Moving Ice and then there is issue with Icewind Dale (LotCS) all with a prescribed timeline.
EDIT: To top it all off there is a major schism at the Council, some believe that the true culprit is the Church of Tiamat (given its beliefs) so another team is sent to Unther to uncover if there is a relationship between the Cult and the Church.
And the above all excludes interference from the Nine Hells or the Githyanki (who historically have an alliance with chromatic dragons and their Hell-Queen).
