Lich Queen Valindra attacks the soldiers of New Neverwinter. This sets off the Battle of the Bridge. Valindra's attack was nearly defeated but Fulminorax the blue dragon helped her escape. This event is where your adventure begins.
There is loads of races and classes in the PC version of Neverwinter. Pretty sure they are all coming over to the XB1 version of the game but I can't confirm yet. So this list may be edited after the game is playable.

I'll add more descriptions to these as I confirm that they are actually in this version of the game.
There are 5 main currencies in Neverwinter: Gold, Astral Diamonds, Glory, Ardent and Celestial Coins and Seals and one paid currency.
Gold
The most common of currencies. Early on you will earn Copper. Later it will be Silver and finally Gold. Things you’ll buy with gold include: Healing and buff consumables, crafting/enchanting materials
100 Copper = 1 Silver
100 Silver = 1 Gold
Astral Diamonds (AD)
AD is earned through similar means as Gold, however, they’re also earned from completing Professions tasks. AD will also be earned by nearly all objectives: Dungeons, Skirmishes, and daily PVP quests. AD is used for gear, weapons, mounts, etc. as well as the auction house.
Glory
Glory is the currency you earn from PVP. It’s earned from participating in nearly all PVP activities: Domination matches, PVP Campaigns, Daily Quests, and rewards for PVP participation. Spend glory to acquire items unique to Neverwinter’s PVP mode including a companion, artifacts, Battle Health Potions and top-tier armor.
Ardent Coins and Celestial Coins
Gained from Invoking your character’s deity the first time on any given day. Players may invoke once an hour for free experience, consumables, and currency. Ardent Coins and Celestial Coins are spent in the Vault of Piety menu and can be used for weapons, elixirs, a unique companion & mount, rewards including refining items or be exchanged for Seals. One thing to note is that Celestial Coins will disappear completely if you do not invoke every 24 hours. Ardent Coins, however, remain on your character regardless of how often you invoke.
Seals
Seals are earned by Ardent Coin exchange or by completing dungeons. There are five different Seals in the game, all of which correspond to levels and which dungeons are available. Once you acquire Seals, travel to the Seven Suns Coaster Market in lower Protector’s Enclave to exchange them for unique adventuring equipment.
Zen
Zen is bought with real world money. You can use it to buy things like: Cosmetic Enhancements, Accessories, in-game pets and mounts. The break down for costs is as follows:
500 Zen - $4.99
1000 Zen - $9.99
2000 Zen - $19.99
5300 Zen - $49.99
10600 Zen - $99.99
21200 Zen - $199.99
Most of my info was from the official site and the Neverwinter wiki. I'm not 100% sure it is accurate for the Xbox One version of the game.
Neverwinter OT PC thread - Far more detailed OP, but as I said before not sure how much transfers over to Xbox One.
Player list - Post info in the thread or pm me and I'll add you to the list.
I made this thread super quick, so I expect some things to slip through the cracks. Please let me know if I missed anything major or goofed up something.
