Good suggestion. Though a couple problems.

1. The Mountain Clearings you mention are extremely similar to the Altoplano. But the Altoplano is extremely hot because of the limited protection from Sunlight. This makes it ideal for brass but it makes it the worst place for tents. Chances are with how dry it is the tents would flare up randomly and very commonly.

2. Because of the limited protection crops die almost immediately. So the farming had to be extremely complicated. Aqauducts had to bring water in from surrounding lakes(of which none exist) and then carefully irrigated to the desired location. Then special canals had to be dug and measured so it was deep enough to not evaporate and wide enough to water many crops.

3. Brass is brittle and not to good for making weapons and armor out of. The Incas used it as small plates on their armor to signify rank. It is so brittle it usually snaps upon hitting hard armor. Brass has only ever been used in ceremonial use. It has a similar consistency to Bronze which was very brittle.
