I just feel like playing a character that's fully immersed in the long history of intrigue between 2 rival houses is really annoying when you as the player don't even know the names of the lords ruling them at present.
And I'm not talking about playing a time traveler or a self-insert. I'm thinking of a wizard fresh out of the academy who's been buried in books for all their life and is now facing the real world. Or a cleric from a strict sect whose black-and-white morals clash with the realities of the murder-hobo life. Admittedly, not the most innovative concepts, but as a new player, you have limited options of what you can portray believingly.
