The city wasent destroyed. A tower got toppled and that was kinda it.
That said I agree that most of the people dont seem to care but I think thats due to their more pressing issues. The people at the druid grove kinda have to worry about not beeing killed by Goblins. Thats their inmediate problem and if they cant solve that before anything else they wont live to even meet the city that theyre supposed to worry about. About our characters not caring is probably because of the same issue. They do care, but not turning into a mindflayer kind of has priority...TAnd whenever we have voicelines we dont see our character really respond or animate to it. Thats because were the PC and how we do that is up to us. If they dident take that approach wed just have a voice protagonist.
Speaking off the people at the grove, they wont know about BG beeing attacked. They know that some weird 'ship' fell out of the sky near their location but if the PC doesent tell them they wont know about the attack either. Its not like they get a message on their smart phone or anything, unless a messenger comes along or they hear from it some other place they wont know what happend to the city. Thats probably why they arent worried about it. They dont know.
