This is good, but I'd like to see it be about Newgrange to make it more Irish. I have no idea what it was like in the 12th century, though, or if it counts as architecture. e: just confirming I really like this idea since I think my post makes it sound like I'm criticising it.

Gain a weakness (as a Mark), a Skill, a Resource, and a helpful Mark, all related to maximizing the potential of your vampiric form.

15c) The world has changed dramatically in the century that Eliza spent in the form of frozen mist. What's worse, the visions of the future that whatever nameless entity that inhabits Newgrange has granted her show her that it will change even more over the centuries, and that she will be there to see it. All of this has not done wonders for the poor woman's sense of stability and self-determination. So she decides to do something about it. She prepares herself for the coming changes by refining this gift, this curse, the only thing she knows for certain that will stick with her. Her village is gone, all her humans she might have called friends are gone, even her heart is gone; but her body, her cold and fearsome and terrifying body, that one returned to her even when she thought it was gone forever. That one, she can depend upon. She spends her time in the dark forests of England, away from civilization, feeding on travelers and lumberjacks and even animals when she has to. And when she isn't feeding on them, she observes them, spying on them from the safety of the branches or the thicker undergrowth. She doesn't dare approach them (for multiple reasons; the loss of her human connections is still fresh in her mind) but she does miss human contact, and this is as close as she can get for now. She also sees travelers craft walking sticks from branches and dress wounds and build improvised shelters when a rainstorm surprises them, and she learns many of their tricks. (Skill: Woodwise) She also experiments with her control over the cold. With animals, mostly, but occasionally with travelers too. It was with one such traveler, a young man with copper hair and a long wool mantle, that she made a discovery: he, who had left his friends with such cheer and jolliness, had all but kicked a smaller, meeker traveller off the road when they crossed paths. It could be that his mood had just soured because she was bothering him with gusts of cold wind... But she knew the truth, on some primal level in her mind. Her ice has dug its way in the young man's heart . Too bad that the constant exposure to the elements and to her own freezing-cold essence has caused her voice to become raspy and croaky, as winter had given her a cold. (Mark) For all that she lived apart from society, her action still had consequences. She would occasionally be caught by the victims of her stal- ahem, observations; and rumors began to spread of a terrifying wild woman living in the woods; perhaps a Kindly Neighbor, perhaps a demon of some sort. A few people even reported feeling unwell after visiting the forest or the nearby countriside. People didn't pay them much mind beyond confirming that that neck in the woods was indeed haunted and brought bad luck besides.(Resource: a fearsome reputation?)
