Diablo 4 starts The Season of Blood with Chapter I of the Season Journey, which acts as a starting guide that introduces you to new rewards as you progress through the season.
This includes providing you with Favor and more goods that you can use throughout the season and to start things off, you get a few minor objectives.
During the first chapter of the Season Journey, you will be doing easy activities that may remind you of how things started when the title was released.

This effect can stack up to 3 times.
Verdict
While you start in the Season of the Blood, you will most likely want to hang around the Dry Steppes as many of the objectives can be completed here.
Another good way to complete these objectives is to explore a bit, especially if you have skipped the Main Campaign since the Seasonal Quests take you all over the place.
You might even complete some of these unintentionally as you will be progressing your character and may end up completing them within your first hour of the season.
