Lore, where to get started

[Macatord]

This is a complex and can be at times overwhelming game. I'd like to get started in the lore so I can improve my gameplay experience, learna bout the major goings on and history and even minor factions so I don't just feel like I am going through the motions with them.

thanks in advance o7
