Instead of the basic, recycled Greek culture platform you used to develop this societal blueprint on, I suggest adding traditional Elven accents to your work. Study the Elven forums a little, gather traits shared in Wood Elven customs and even give your religion, which is essentially the ancient Greek pantheon under another persona, a little Druidic twist - perhaps the Aspects may align with the three deities you have established here.
