I feel like I can come up with everything except a plot.

Wait…this has outed me as someone who is not a Star Wars fan. Wait…was it a Star Wars reference?
sorry. Yes it was.

Star Wars Episode 4, A New Hope is a very clear case study of the Hero's Journey. All the big moments get a clear scene in there. George Lucas is a big fan of the hero's journey apparently. So if you're interested in writing one, then you can do worse than studying Star Wars.

I think he would make a great Etienne
He's going to be somebody's body model, just not sure who, yet. ;) It's really, really funny you should say that. We've got a private group on FB called Lowan's Seahaven Afterparty, or just the Afterparty, and in our Spoiler Room chat I am sharing and discussing the body models and inspiration pics for the (stupidly large) cast and Etienne was on the plate the other day. Next one's going to be Cian. Log into Facebook

I'm a pantster and plotting has not worked well for me. Since you have characters and you have settings, you might want to put one or more of your characters in direct conflict with the setting you've created. Build a scene from that. Let the characters try to get out or around the problem the setting poses. Or maybe the settings support the character in some magical way? What happens next?
