Question about playable cultures.

So all I can see on the AoC website is these cultures and I am a little confused on how the game will play out on this. If anyone knows please by all means reply. I would like to know.
The Cimmerians:
Does this include the allied nations of Aquilonia? Like will we be able to choose a city within the empire of Aquilonia to be born of or is the Cimmerians the only playable culture?
The Stygians:
Same question as above?
The Vanir
I guess the same question for these guys too?
I have been doing a little research on the history of Robert E. Howards world and it's similarity to ancient earth cultures with just different or similar names. This Wiki is a good example: Hyborian Age.
So anyways just for clarification I would like to know what's going to happen? Mainly for RP purposes for me and probably for other people as well.

The three playable cultures are actually Cimmeria, Stygia, and Aquilonia.
As far as I know, once you leave Tortage, where you'll play level's 1-20 then you'll go to your cultural starting city. Tarantia for the Aquilonians, Khemi for the Stygians, and Glen of..name escapes me for the Cimmerians.
If you visit the Age of Conan homesite, you'd find more information on the locations than I can quickly share here.
FYI...Cimmeria is NOT a part of Aquilonia or an ally.
Ok, thanks. I am trying to jump on the band wagon here learning the lore of this game. That makes better sense now. As for that link that I have posted in my original post, maybe I was expecting too much accuracy to the world of the books. All though the devs say that this game is true to the books. Maybe, it's simplified in the game, stuff left out anyway.
Just thought i'd add this :
www.wikiaoc.com/Races
Shows you what classes are available to what races you can pick.
And here is what type of weapons those classes can weild: http://www.wikiaoc.com/Classes#Weapon_Proficiencies
everyone starts out at the same place, then stumbles along the path to Tortage. After you reach 20, you'l head to the mainland and presumably to your main cities.
