Don't think there's any tutorials, besides the super basic in-game one that tells you to build huts, streets, and then a barn and a field (despite it being too cold to grow anything for half the world just now).

Basically though, build lots of huts to get more people, get some basic industry up and running (in your case, either lime burning or iron mining/smelting) to bring in some cash, and probably get a school built at some point so you can train most types of specialists (getting a carpenter + bricklayer + roofer is useful for building the more important stuff).  A little longer term you'll likely want to turn that iron into things like nails or tools, which involves building a small workshop, upgrading it to a forge, then specialising it - best have those construction guys in place first, so you can build it at better quality.  Don't bother with anything farming related for now - it's too cold where you are for anything to grow, and will be for months (real time).

When it comes time to expand your borders, I'd look to the south - you've got some decent quality trees down there, a small patch of moderate quality clay (can be used to make bricks for construction or profit), and a river (for making paper, and sand).

Learning is mostly just asking questions and reading through the help section a lot.  Most of the help section is stats and dependencies for the various resources, buildings, and units, but you'll need to know that stuff to plan out what you're building and who you're training.  There's not that many entries on actual game mechanics - you'll find those in the sub-headings above the word "Catalogue" in each main help topic (e.g. under the Actions section, the mechanics explanations are in the "Calculation" and "Automation" sub-headings).

Is there any indepth tutorial that'll show me the ropes, at least for the beginning, so I don't screw up too hard?

Make good use of the in-game 'Help' tab. It shows lots of information regarding the prerequisites to build buildings, and the skills that affect quality.

One thing to note, since biowrath said you have decent trees; trees have two options, under the construction tab you can fell them, or under the Production tab you can gather lumber from them. The former option will destroy the tree, while the latter option allows you to gather multiple times, so it is generally recommended that you gather rather than felling. However, gathering does have a 1 week cooldown, and felling gives 20x more wood, so...your call.

The opening of this post got me intrigued, so I got myself a demesne here . Probably placed wrong, probably doing a whole lot of things wrong, but I got iron. Iron ,limestone and sandstone.

Hope that's useful for something.

I rather like your location, being sort of tucked in a valley like that. I'm actually pretty close to you, just across the river east and a bit north in the mass of ponds. Here

A rather shit spot in retrospect, but eh, its not like I'm planning to become a metropolis, and at least I have access to half decent fir, and will have access to half decent iron once I push a bit south.

With the completion of my medium brewery it is now the biggest building on my domain.  Considerably taller than my castle.  Got to get those priorities straight.

Nice, you 2 are near my 2nd domain.  By near, I mean within 30 minute travel time for my lord.  Northern Tetra unite. 
If you are short on cash I can probably help you get stuff cheaper if needed.  (78% quality tools are what I make, made to order.)

Yeah, if you can get the grain and hops.  Also the barrel which needs you to butcher sheep or cows for the tallow.

Calling on any B12er in the south around the area of Tor Flunk if they want to join in on a new realm forming.  Looking for anyone interested in filling out the upper levels and get things rolling.

Mainly just want to get people under one banner so we can show our combined strength(potential) for all the great powers out there, and the new powers rising in our area.  Strength in numbers and all that.

Message me in game or just send your lord to my castle.  Probably going to have to send people to TTHSK or Balstor if enough people start showing up.

The game of hats begins.

10 shovels of any quality would be helpful, so I  can get my miner. They are rather expensive on the market, being sold for 72 a piece. I'll be able to repay you back in iron ore related stuff.

I've got the town of Broadbill at 01105W:28692N. I've also got Zythland at 00824W:28563N, but I may abandon that. There isn't much there and it's already a lot of work managing Broadbill at this point. I don't see much point in running more than one domain.

With more than one domain you can import goods at the global buying price from them, while having a place to reliably sell goods at the global sales price. So if there's a large difference between those two things, or goods at high quality just aren't getting traded, it's very useful. Also worth it if the new site just produces crazy money, and you can finagle that back to your main.

It took a little bit of finessing (and swimming my lord out into the middle of the lake), but I can finally expand my domain in the direction I want! Woo!

As an added bonus, I'm now the proud owner of a tiny island in the middle of my lake. No idea what (if anything) I can do with it, but it's mine - all mine...

Also, I'm a Lord now! Bow down before the awesome power of my single-level wooden castle! That's nobility, ya'll.

I feel like I'm shit out of luck when it comes to tokens. I got 900 my first day, after that (played for 9 days I think) the most I've had is what I got just now; 105. Jesus Christ.

Also; how do I stockpile resources? For now, I wanna built a north-south street. To do that I need loads of stone. Limestone is an option, and that is what I want to use since I have a shit ton of limestone in my domain. However, all the limestone I mine just keeps getting sold constantly, so I can never acquire enough to use it for building...

Alright.  Up top of the screen, there are 8 or 9 buttons up top, hit the one that looks like a graph. 
Find and click the word: Resources
There should be a line with black price tag icon.  Click on all the black price tag icons so they are not black anymore.

EDIT: By default, the game sets everything 'new' to autosell, which is a load of garbage cause the price it sells things at has little basis in reality.  (Does not take quality into account, so it'll sell high quality things at dirty peasant prices and low quality things at way too much, so it'll never move prices.)
