I'll just tell how it ran as a sideplot;

My Nualia ended up captured by the PCs. Orik Tsuto and Lyrie all escaped custody too, with Orik becomming in time a protector of Sandpoint and Lyrie the rival of my Wizard PC.

Upon finding her journal, the PCs decided to lock her up and slowly help her towards redemption. I played her as sad, suicidal and self mutilating girl, but the group Paladin was keen on redempting her and was kind enough to her, so she eventually got oriented towards redemption. In the end of Chapter 2, she had cutted her own demonic arm and went into a coma.

Come chapter 3. Tsuto goes back to Sandpoint, kills father Zantus, kidnaps Nualia, and flee to the Hook Mountain Clanhold, trying to convert his love back to evil. Unfortunately, Nualia contacts the PCs for help via the kind Paladin, and the group rescues her, trusting her to be actually on their side. Tsuto and Lyrie escapes, AGAIN.

The Party suffers a humiliating defeat by Black Magga (this is important)

Comes chapter 4. The humiliated Tsuto leads the charge against Sandpoint and gets killed. While the party goes to Jorgenfist, Nualia actually takes the place of Father Zantus (by hinding her identity and being the mysterious one-armed priestess of Sandpoint).Her last act towards a full redemption is by betraying Lamashtu by sumonning Black Magga, allowing it to be killed by the PCs at the end of Ch4.

At the end of Ch5 (Present day) , as the party returns to Sandpoint, they discover that Nualia wasn't 100% honest and is part of a secret cult, only to discover the existence of the cult of the Redeemer Queen (To Foreshadow Nocticula's presence in Return). Nualia is one of their more trusted allies now.

As for Lyrie, the only last unresolved thread, continued on her quest to get into the Pathfinder Society no matter what. The party will encounter her again in Xin-Shalast, as she will the one feeding the party info on Mhar, realizing something really bigger is at stake and making peace with the party if they let her go.

So yeah, Nualia can be a great addition to Rise beyond chapter one

First off, Andoran does not exists.

The players fought a revolutionary war in Arcadia, based loosely on the american revolution, with Cheliax in the role of the British Crown, and allied the Arcadian colonies (with a few addups) in a single nation, basically making another Andoran.

Right now, 15 years later Post-revolutionary Arcadia is the new setting, with the Inner Sea region being the "Old world". Cheliax tried to get revenge by develloping a superweapon (In the idea of a nuclear weapon), which blew up in the middle of Egorian, opening a WorldWound-style gap in reality in the middle of Cheliax (yeah, the players kinda failed this quest...)

So yeah, Andoran is basically located in Arcadia, and Cheliax blew itself up.

...Oh, and Kaijus and Dinosaurs inhabit the Arcadian west coast, making the wild west REALLY wild.
