I LOVE the idea of Temples Domain lending itself to being an ancient magic civil engineer, and I think Natalia playing an important role in evacuating the planet touches on a part of the past lives that I don't think anyone else has. Hell Yes
I still have a few questions/clarifications about her being prophesied to marry one of the Aster (which I'm still very much into, ftr). Regardless of how it happens in reality, the implications of that being in a prophecy at all are pretty big, since it's basically a divine dictate to violate their otherwise strict social order. Viewed through the lens of their culture, I think the Oracle would interpret this as some kind of cosmic punishment for Natalia and/or her Constellation as a whole -- (this is just an example, but) for instance, if her Constellation was involved in some kind of political kerfuffle, that prophecy might be interpreted as her Constellation having to "sacrifice" one of their own (being condemned to be one of the Aster being akin to a social death of sorts).
You mentioned her being a social outcast, so maybe this is what you were already thinking and I just didn't connect the dots until now, so please let me know if I'm too far off the mark! I just want to get the general shape of the cultural impact it'd have, because it would be somewhat controversial and extremely juicy.
