Welcome! I think I just made a similar post on another new player's wall.
Lore can be found in bits and pieces throughout Eorzea. Via quests or random NPC conversations. One of the best places to get Lore in game is to talk to Class and Job Quest NPCs after you've completed their questline. But the game does not hand you lore. Most often you have to actively seek it out, and for those instances, I find some of the following links to be the most helpful.
Lore Hot-spots:
-Official Lore Forum
-Race Heights
-Azurymber's Lore Guide
-An Eorzean Timeline
-FFXIV Maps
-The Grand Companies of Eorzea
-Eorzean Newspaper Articles
-The Autumn War
-The Lore Train
-1.0 Lominsan Story Arc Discussion
-1.0 Ul'dahn Story Arc Discussion
-1.0 Gridanian Story Arc Discussion
-Gamer Escape Interviews Fernehalwes
-Time Measurement in Eorzea
-Eorzean Units of Measurement
Hope this helps! ^^
