I'm running a group of friends through Second Darkness, and in book 3 "Armageddon Echo" they checked out a temple in the city. Inside the altars they found weapons relating to one of the four gods within the temple (Calistria, Findeladlara, Ketephys, and Yuelral).
Now originally, I had only thought of these items as relics of the temple with no real purpose. But some of my players took the way I described the items and the altars so that the items must have some other purpose.
So since the temple they were found in is called the "Temple of the Watchers" what could 4 Elven gods be guarding that a group of 6 characters around level 9 to 10 might find fun or challenging?

Maybe an ancient elven king tomb, essentially a big excuse for loot, traps and challenging guardians.
If you want to make it memorable, end the tomb with a demilich encounter (double treasure is sure to make a nice hoard) or it's one of the rare chances for them to face an actual dragon (red adult dragon would be a memorable encounter).
There are plenty of guardians monsters out there, going from golems, constructs, magical beasts etc...+ traps and/or haunts to spice it up.
Hmmm never thought of the Elvin king idea, but that is an interesting idea.
