I have two characters (twin Aasimar) in my campaign that have the Touched By Divinity trait, and it will be revealed later in the campaign that they are the children of Iomedae.
That means that, obviously, their father has a strong connection to the Goddess. In the background of the story he lost his life defending Drezen during the second crusade. He was one of the knights personally responsible for defending the Sword of Valor when he was betrayed and mortally wounded by the evil bastard that stole it.
Now I figure when he dies his strong connection to Iomedae (and her obvious affection for him) could lead to him becoming her herald and being imbued with angelic properties.
I'm adding this stuff because I'm using the 'typo rules' for Aasimar, in that the twins are extremely old and where born before the crusades even began. It gives a nice link to both Drezen and the Sword of Valor.
Do you guys know of any things that might have to be changed to make sense of this? I'll obviously have to change the vision that the wardstone gives them regarding it's creation so as not to tip off the fact that their father is the herald too early (maybe the figure glows too brightly to identify in the vision). Anything else?
Actually, the simpler solution is this: Asimar have the extreme long lives as mentioned in the Advanced Race Book. But they grow up quickly. So a 15-year-old Nualia is a teenager Asimar. But if she'd not gotten in over her head, she could have lived to be a couple hundred years old.

I have a similar situation in my game where one of my aasimar characters is the grand daughter of Iomedae's mortal herald. I used the assumption that aasimar age the same as humans, which made the timeline of the Worldwound work better.
This character's grandmother was the knight leader under Iomedae when she was Aroden's mortal herald. When Aroden died and Iomedae ascended the knight became the new mortal herald and ascended to half-celestial, changing the bloodline of her future children. The PC was raised by her grandmother in heaven to become the next mortal herald after her parents were killed by a demonic attack in Mendev.
The other two characters are tieflings and the mortal children of Khorramzadeh, who has corrupted the line of kings of Sarkoris with demonic blood.
