Why would you pick the setting if you don't know what the story is about yet?You realize that a lot of people choose when they want their story to be beforehand right? Say I don't have an idea for a story, but I want it to be in the future; like I want to write sci fi.It's seems silly to pick a setting without a story. I'd always start with the story first, and place it in a setting that would help me drive it the way i want it to go. I agree with you to an extent. But some people want to write a story, don't have an idea yet, and pick a setting so they might get some sort of inspiration.And i could definitely see that working at times, i pick the setting immediately after i get the very basis of the plot so that it will continue to drive and house the plot in a way that make sense, but that doesn't seem to be the case for the OP's book.
Back OT, i don't really know anything about those cultures or times, OP. Alchemy is really interesting though. If it's relevant to any of your possible settings, give it a look.
