I don't have any answers but it's a cool setting

DESIGNATED

Check out Arrows of Indra for ideas.

Sounds good. You hit all the main talking points.

Flying Chariots

Well, caste system, duh

savage hill clans that are employed as mercenaries by corrupt town bureaucrats. highly specific regional celebrations for a god that is completely alien to another follower of the same god two valleys over.

a royal court that migrants to a new city every few months, creating large wooden shanty towns in its wake as peasants flock to their eminence, only for those shanty towns to be abandoned to rot apart from bad weather after the royal court moves on.

eh, I don't see how it would be radically different.
