Throughout the Ninth and Tenth Seasons of SG-1, we have seen many riddles left behind by Merlin, and, as a suprise, they all point to the finding of the San Graal (the point of all the riddles will be stated later):
1) The Ancient Tablet [recovered by Vala Mal Doran]- This one leads to Avalon, where the Alteran Communication Device is held.
2) The Alteran Communication Device [formerly housed in Avalon, now most likely resides in Area 51 under study]- This one helps us get in contact with the Ori, and will prompt them to come to the MW and be exposed to basically the rest of the Universe (now I know this makes Merlin look evil, but I'll explain).
3) The Alteran Dimension Device [the one that can take you to another dimension, used to hide Merlin's work; also found in Avalon]- This one would let the galaxy know of the San Graal, a device that could defeat Ascended Beings. This also pointed them to Camelot.
4) Merlin's Library at Camelot [self explanitory] - This one let the team see for themselves the San Graal, and, through the villagers of Camelot, they found the names of two planets where the weapon used to be. Also, the search would take them to Atlantis, where they would see Morgan.
5) Could there be yet a fifth riddle? After the episode tonight, I will discuss the fifth riddle and the thought that comes to my mind.
Now, the reason for all this, I honestly believe, was for the sole purpose of defeating the Ori. Now, I speculate that some Ancients had the power to see into the future, whether in Ascension or not. And, as Morgan said, Merlin recognized that the Ori could become a great threat. So, Merlin needed to make something that could destroy them. So he began working on the San Graal.
But, since he was descended, he might not live to see someone use the weapon to destroy the Ori, so he left behind some clues. First, he had to find some way to get the Ori to come to the Milky Way in order for the weapon to be used. So he left the Tablet somewhere on some planet. After that, Merlin left a communication device in Avalon so that someone could find it, translate what it said, and use it. He knew the only other communication devices were in the Ori galaxy. Next, after the Ori would discover that there were "unbelievers" in the MW, and after basically declaring war, he needed a way for someone to find the San Graal. So he also left the dimension device so that someone could see where to go next. Then, he pointed the person to Camelot, where they would see the Sangraal for themselves, and find out two places the San Graal used to be. So then, a person would go on a quest to look for some planets that might have the San Graal, the same thing Arthur and his Knights would do. So their quest should have eventually taken them to the planet visited in "the Quest."
Now, will they find the San Graal, or another riddle? We don't know. For those who like spoilers, they can see the AOL vignette, and perhaps will figure out the next clue, the next piece of the large puzzle of Merlin's Trail of Riddles.

How many of those things are there?!? Maybe that one is different..?
