If it helps, a lot of the lore of the world is self-contained in the game itself. You'll pick up a lot of the details just from playing the game. The more nuanced bits might take a bit of uncovering, but folks like our resident loremaster Sounsyy have done a lot of the legwork on that already and can likely answer any lore questions you have. Just look around in the Lore section of the forums - or just straight up ask in a thread of your own (either there or in this very thread!) - and you should be able to find (almost) all the answers you seek!
