[@Wade Wilson]I had a hard time grasping the setting at the very beginning too, and to be honest I think it really helped that I kind of made my own lore to fit into the story. I used a lot of pictures I found over the internet to get a feel of the setting for myself (usually low to moderate fantasy art with a futuristic/mid-high tech feel), and I feel like the pictures Prisk and Rockette have posted in OOC have also really helped. Also, I came into this kind of expecting a final fantasy sort of theme, and I still have that same impression even this far into the roleplay. 

Now that I'm reading over what I wrote I'm not too sure if any of that was helpful, but I do hope you join the party!
