Use a Steam, Diesel or Cyber Punk setting for extra flavor?
Focus 100% only on one city or town?

I've always loved Political Intrigue in a high fantasy personally. Just because when someone claims he is the messiah that will save humanity he might actually be right. It adds an entire layer when you know for a fact there is things you don't understand on a supernatural plane and now have to figure out what is going on.
