In my kingmaker-campaign players have just entered "Rivers Run Red" and started building their kingdom.
I too felt, that Nyrissa and the whole "transforming-the-stolen-lands-into-Thousandbreaths"-thing needed to be foreshadowed a little more.
Luckily one of my PCs is a gnome-warlock with the fey-bloodline (is it named that way? Im translating it from the german version here...).
In his background he mentioned, that his character ran away from home and into the woods once. At some point he has no memory about what happened, he just found himself running through the woods naked and pretty bruised until he was found by some wanderers.
Considering Nyrissas background, I thought it would be nice, if this character was actually the son of Nyrissa and Count Ranalc. When the Eldest punished her and the Count, they decided to banish their son into the Material Plane and to make him a mortal.
The gnome-PC was runnig through the woods and was attacked by something (I still need to think about something cool) and actually died.
But the eyes of the Eldest fell upon him and they banished the soul of Nyrissas son into his body, reviving him in the process and forming some kind of max-personality of the two.
When the wanderers found him, he had no memory about who he was and what he was doing there... Memory about his life as gnome slowly returned to him in the following months, but his existence as Nyrissas son still was a mystery.
Now he entered the stolen lands, the lands, that Nyrissa wants to make her own, and she quickly recognized the soul of her son in that gnome.
As he is gaining more and more influence in the stolen lands, she tries to communicate with him through his dreams.
Now that the PC is in the stolen lands for some time, he has had some pretty strange dreams... a baby crying in the woods... a mother taking care of her child... visions and feelings of power...
Nyrissa plans to use him for her plans, maybe by getting the sword Briar for her.
Hope, this all made some sense to you...
