Re: Powerful, mysterious artifact! So what's it do?
Send them out on a non-linear quest. Something like "expand my follower base, you figure out the details" or "Build me a temple, you decide where". It's a clear command but there are no rails to follow. Basically let the PCs be the artists that design the quest. It would be something they do while they're doing other stuff and it won't send them away from their other pursuits.

Re: Powerful, mysterious artifact! So what's it do?
For a low-level party, it needn't be truly an artifact. It could just be a magic item or four that are well above their usual level. You mention wanting to make them have to research and try things out; the Rings of Elemental Command may fit the bill nicely.
For genuine, campaign-shaping artifacts, you might consider one or more Orbs of Dragonkind.
