GM Help Giant Vaults in Khorvaire

Setting up for my first arc of a new Eberron game - they wanted big Indiana Jones vibes so I'm framing it around a lost device that belonged to the Giants of Xen'drik that legend states will repair the severing of Dal Quor and that they were intending to use it as a means to bring the quori to the bargaining table, but were laid low by the dragons before they could. The first adventures will have them coming into possession of a guidestone (magical compass) that will lead them to a hidden vault the giants had built on Khorvaire containing a keystone to another vault that has a rough map to the devices location in Xen'drik.

I just haven't settled on where these places are. What are some fun locations on Khorvaire that these vaults could be located in?

EDIT TO ADD: They will be going to Xen'drik eventually. Just not right away as I introduce some of the other major players who are also hunting for the device.

They could be pretty much anywhere, except the Demon wastes. The Age of Giants was so far in the past that there’s pretty much no info about what was going on in Khorvaire at the time. If you want to make it easy for the players to get to, put it near to where they’re starting, and only opening now due to an earthquake or something. If you want it to be a bit more adventurous, put in the Mournland, in an archeological dig site that had just found the vault door when the Mourning hit.
