It doesn't need to be purple prose about the setting. I get where OP is coming from because writing a love letter to the setting means integrating the characters into a place that feels lived-in and real. It's about describing the way the ash of Mount Doom feels on a character's skin; about how the snow storm makes the forests of Skyrim look to a new adventurer; how the aurora borealis lit up the night sky just in time for a character to see an enemy coming at them. Characters don't live in a void-- writing about the world they live in is tied to the way they see it and how it affects them.
