11 Temples of Giants

I'm reviving an idea I've seen here before.  The topic in General about doing a Giant themed Pilgrimage reminded me of it and I couldn't find the old thread.   
Let's imagine temples, again, or for the very first time.  :) 

Imagine there's a temple for each of the Giants.  Each temple location and appearance matching to fit the persona of the Giant.  After the temples are in the world, there could be phases or levels added over a period of time, so they could be something that grows with Ur.  
Phase 1, a simple quest at each to enter the temple to the Main floor.  

Phase 2, a puzzle quest maybe to unlock another room.  

Phase 3, the glitch must discover thru trial and error the *right* combo of items the Giant requires in donation to open the next room/level. Like the Ghost quest, the donation would be somewhat unique to the glitch so that one person couldn't give a spoiler.  At level 3 you should be able to do it yourself.  

It would be a longer multi-part quest and gives glitches an opportunity to learn more about the Giants as they go along.   Glitches could also invent their own pilgrimages.  It would also provide a focus for travel to the far flung areas.   
I've collected temple design inspiration HERE or HERE2 or HERE3 or HERE4

That's all I've got... tag, you are it.  Imagine.

  • Yay, Ooola. Another idea is to collect "stamps" at each temple in a Pilgrimage passbook. Collecting the full set unlocks a fab new learnable skill for each giant.

  • This is a great idea. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

  • +1  to get a passbook 'stamp' from each temple that unlocks new skills.  I like the idea of having small quests linked that add up to make a larger achievement.

  • I'd like the temples to be player-built, using our towers.  Just as in the real world, the religious who build the towers could trade commercial gain for poverty.  But there could be gift shops, and (with groups) whole religious establishments that worked together to glorify the giant of their choosing. 

    Rival temples of the same giant would be allowed.

    And I love the passbook idea, but you could also allow the stamps to all be from the same giant, different temples.
