Riddles Unanswered (A player idea)

I love riddles. They make my mind tick in ways that few things can. Even if I can't answer it on my own; I can always appreciate the effort that went into the construction of a well crafted riddle. I love the stories behind the riddles and Destiny has triggered a little part of me that is craving this. The lore is amazing. These cards (while sad that the story isn't in game) are awesome. The stories need to be implemented in some way in my opinion. I know this might seem like the usual "do what i say" post but I would love if I could read some feedback from both Bungie and the community. So to cut to the meat I propose something called a Speaker's Riddle mission. The basic idea behind this is for players to implement their knowledge of this game and be rewarded for it. The steps are simple. Once a week the speaker shows you a riddle. You try to figure it out while on patrol or in a mission, but here is the catch. You only get one shot to do this per week. This riddle will send you to a special version of a mission/strike with random modifiers. Think a mini-rng nightfall. But the rewards will be inline with that. One free legendary per day for those above 290 light or a chance at an exotic if the riddles send you to a strike. Here is an example. Where he fought; clothed in void. A crusader. Final and veiled. Ring true the noises of his brethren upon the grounds of his triumph. Yet loath the fallen angels who drew his wrath. This is a riddle that if solved will take you to the Devil's lair strike. Do the strike as normal until you come to sepiks prime. But he will be absent. Where he is meant to spawn will be a dented helmet. This belongs to Saint-14. The destroyer of the House of Devils. You need to use a super of each subclass type (titan only) to unlock the full extent of the strike. If no titan is present the mission will end upon helmet scan and you will be rewarded regularly with less of a chance of an exotic. But if all three supers are used near the helmet a text will pop up saying. The Devils Return. You must fight your way back out of the mission area to extraction. Here you will face a new Prime. When killed he has a much higher chance of an exotic drop than a regular Ultra. I also feel that there should be smaller riddles to do that reward resources, materials or glimmer. Perhaps you could wager marks against the speaker. So basically that is the rough details of what I have rocking around in my head. I hope people will share their ideas in the comments and I would appreciate any likes or bumps to try to get this thing trending.
