I'd give some of Sounsyy's lore compilations a check.
There's a work in progress thread to host all the compilations here: Sounsyy's Lore Compilations Index
I'd probably start with these:
Eorzean Lore Starter Kit
-Racial Lore Compilation
-Class/Job Lore Compilation
-Hydaelyn Geography Lore
-Settlements in Eorzea Pre-Calamity
-Eorzean City-states' Political Structures Lore
-Eorzean Units of Time and Measurement Lore
What Year Is It? Time Passage in FFXIV
