What do you suppose an altar to Vecna would look like? I'm trying to put some effort into making different religions have different "looks and feels" so that the choice of a diety for PCs and villains isn't based entirely on game mechanics. I was wondering if anyone else has put some thought into that.

Thanks in advance!

A giant hand, holding half a sphere by the rounded part, with an eye inscribed on the flat surface? Kind of like a 3D version of his symbol?

I'd go for a stone slab (standard altar design) with the aforementioned hand&eye on it.
Another idea would be a simple altar with lots of engravings... with a rather small and hidden hand&eye symbol somewhere it's likely to be overlooked. The altar might even be in use of another religion.

I imagine it would be able to accomodate living sacrifices.
