No problem, it can take a while to get your feet under you with all the lore.
You can read a bit about it on the Wiki here:
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/index....le=Ishgard
If you like I can suggest a few different sources (not sure what your preferred media is, video or text)
Either way, feel free to keep throwing ideas out to be commented on.
Edit: I can't recommend http://xivwiki.com/Main_Page enough, while the data is still being fleshed out their organization and fact checking is superb.
