I had a look at your post. Thanks for submitting an article! Very nice story.
I am wondering though if you could just integrate the worldbuilding part at the beginning into your story. You already have quite a few interesting things about the world interweaved in your story. One or two more paragraphs of your protagonist deep in thought might be enough to convey enough worldbuilding for the story to be completely understood. Or you could leave some things unknown to the reader.
But that is obviously your decision. Right now it's good to know what is going on and how the world works.
