We can make guesses from how NPCs act but all the important stuff is left in the dark. The devs could at any time lore bomb anyone with info that no one would ever expect. It's inevitable when none of our characters are canon.
That's not entirely accurate. Anyone playing a "humble beginnings' sort of storyline is going to be fine. Coming from one of the main cities should be fine. It's when you start getting into double-secret Ishgarlevanian heritages and dabbling in forces that are implied but not expanded on you get into trouble.
