I've just started running a 4th ed group thru RoRTL and was also wondering how to foreshadow Nualia (and also how to deal with the fact that aasimars don't exist in 4E). Luckily, my players presented me with an opportunity...
...when they were informed that Father Tobyn's remains had been stolen during the goblin raid on Sandpoint and tried to investigate why someone would want to steal the remains of the former priest.
During their discussion with Father Zantus, I let one of the players whose character is a Sandpoint local remember that Father Tobyn had adopted a daughter of unearthly beauty (& obvious celestial heritage) who also perished in the fire 5 years ago. I also gave them information about how Nualia had been treated by those of a superstitious bent in Sandpoint.
This led my players to wonder if the corpse thieves had actually been trying to get Nualia's remains and had stolen Father Tobyn's remains by mistake...
I let them rule this out by investigating the graveyard and noting that Father Tobyn's grave was well marked, but they ended up talking to Naffer Vosk, the gravedigger, and he mentioned that they didn't find much left of Nualia after the fire and that it wasn't easy to identify her remains...
I feel I've now given them enough information for the revelation that Nualia is still alive to have some impact...
