That's a pretty rough cut of the Main Story Quests (MSQ, henceforth) but it doesn't necessarily have to relate to your character. As you progress in the story it becomes a whole lot of CHOSEN ONE kind of nonsense and it just doesn't work in a roleplaying community if we've got hundreds of CHOSEN ONES all with the same identical background.
As for lore stuff, XIV is a pretty flexible world for a lot of concepts. You don't have to be the new guy on the train into town, and you definitely don't have to play along with the stuff the main story throws at you.
If you had any specific questions in mind, feel free to ask them. We're all pretty much dorks here, so we think a lot about the game lore. Probably more than the lore team does at times.
