Having things IG to work towards is great, but getting them is primarily an IC process; what makes a character or a goal (I want this book!) interesting is how it involves other players, and only by creating a good story with other characters will you have a chance of getting it.
First, think about some interesting goals that are achievable and (this is most important) don't require DMs. They could be explore the dark and search distant exotic locations (go do obscure quests and explore with other players). They could be fight evil to prove your holiness (get involved with pvp and create fun rivalries). They could be set up an interesting, proactive church that is the voice of good in a largely evil world! As long as it involves other players and creates more stories, it's good.
Next, post in personal character notes that you're looking for some cool relic of ilmater, with a -brief- description of it in case the DMs are unfamiliar with it, and say what you'll be doing to get it and how it will be fun for other players.
After this, all you can do is wait. Keep your notes updated with cool events you've organised, even bringing a group of players to some dangerous and distant locale is worth mentioning, and sit back. You might not get it immediately, so be patient, and trust the DMs to decide. You might not even get it, but hopefully you'll have fun playing with a purpose and having something to work towards is always good imo!
I hope that helps, I'll be happy to answer any questions at all.
