Well, take a look at your avatar, his traits, and try and get a feel for what kind of person you want to make him. Then you might want to read some of the various House threads and see what they represent and where they own lands. You can then decide whether you want to join a House or go it alone. There are people who have done both, so you'll have company no matter what you decide. Feel free to contact people in the public threads or privately via PM if this helps in your decision. Essentially, think about what you want to do in the game. Achieve high rank? Conquer a certain area? Found your own House? Kill a particularly annoying player? Whatever your objective is, that's your game, and that objective can easily change over time.
In the short term, the basic building block of power for all avatars is land. Once you get a province of your own, you gain a lot more bargaining power to achieve whatever it is you want to achieve. You don't NEED a province, but the game will probably be more interesting once you have one.
And yes, read the FAQ and Rules.
