For the most part, I want to see what you would like to explore, especially of the setting. In so far as some of the important npcs, I'll clearly warn you of if they aren't designed to be fought (yet). Think of this like a sand box video game where there are lots of adventures/quests what have you and depending on which ones you choose tailors what becomes available and what disappears. Fit the first short errand, I'll give you a couple of options and go from there.
