Ummm, I see the problem. I don't think you chose the best way to introduce them to the game to be honest. I would go with drawing on a small scale at first and letting them become aware of one culture and one place. Show them some of the 'what my father taught me' stuff and take off from there.
Use either Sartar ('You're sorta like Vikings or maybe Celts') or the West ('You're feudal knights and their folliowers') so that they can get a firm picture in their heads. Not something a bit outre like the Grazers. Not for the very first game.
