Soulless Forest Altar

Even with his progressively fading sight, the changes in the season hadn't gone unnoticed to him. The word of the grand statues that had suddenly appeared was just as intriguing to him, though he knew right away he couldn't appreciate them in their entirety. Even navigating to where one was rumored to be ended up being quite the chore. This was exactly why he tended to stay as close to home as possible these days. Only when he got closer did he remember he'd heard talk of bringing something to decorate the altar; something along those lines. He wasn't really sure what that all meant and that was exactly why he'd ended up here with easily the most lackluster decoration of them all.
Fish eggs. He'd tried digging through a nearby stream to find a rock or something that might look even marginally interesting but he'd grown frustrated and instead managed a pawful of... something. Upon closer inspection, once he ended up at the alter, he realized it was a ball of fish eggs. He'd definitely mistaken it for something else, for obvious reasons, but alas. This was what he had. He hesitated only a moment before the tall, looming altar before approaching it. He couldn't make out its features well enough to see much beyond three heads and a wolflike body. He laid down the fish eggs at the altar's base, hoping they at least looked like something beyond... well, exactly what they were.

NPC:
As the decoration is laid, the familiars move to begin their investigation. They pick through the pieces of the offering as carefully as possible as to not disturb the layout the wolf has chosen. Speaking amongst themselves in hushed whispers too soft for prying ears, the familiars are clearly discussing what their God might think of Veigar’s decoration.
The gloopy ball of eggs is placed upon the altar and you swear you hear something (or someone) retch, just off to your side. The rats seem to be arguing and if you could see them clearly you might notice that it seems they are fighting over who gets to not handle this decoration. In the end after a fierce chatter-match and what looks like even a game of rock paper scissors, a loser rat is proclaimed and he sluggishly drags himself forward to shuffle your decoration to make room for the next. A large black cat steps forward to block your view, a prize in hand. She squints at you and your glow, hastily pushing the gift into your paw and beckoning you to hurry, onward and away.

Veigar is completely blind; his eyes are a hazy shade of pale yellow, though he tries his best to hide this fact.
His saliva also glows a faint shade of neon green since the Ooze event.
