The quote is from the Empress of salt and Fortune.@Da_Gut Pilgrimages are a fine theme to bring interesting people, places, and plots together. And you're right, they're under-used in RPG scenarios.
I guess "The Long Walk" introductory adventure in Lords of Gossamer and Shadow might count, obliquely; it's a grand pallbearers' walk across the back passages connecting myriad worlds.
I imagine RuneQuest might have made use of pilgrimages in the setting.
Plenty of historical and current examples to draw from for inspiration.

German folklore has a lot of interesting folk tales featuring pilgrimages, too. I have two relevant texts on my wiki right now, but there are many more.
