If you talk to the lady who you apparently have no interest in hearing, you can accept her quest and it will give you a quest marker for a boat or cart (depending on the city) that will take you to High Isle.

If you have no interest in the card game, just drop the quest once you get to High Isle.

I don't know anything about an ambassador. I wonder if that's supposed to be a reference to the lady? I don't know.

I was trying to figure that our myself, but eventually the island popped up on the map and I just used the wayshirne.

So you have to get the card game quest to get the lead in?

Not the best idea....

I just looked for the new place and found an island to go to from a wayshrine, but that was non-intuitive.

I found it a bit confusing when I was trying it out on PTS, because I wanted to go to High Isle "naturally" instead of just taking a wayshrine as though my character had known about High Isle's existence all along.

I eventually did just take a wayshrine and ran around, but once I went back to Vvardenfell I ran into the lady who's trying to recruit "fresh blood" for the card game, so I accepted her quest and noticed that the quest marker did point me to the boat I'd previously been unable to find.

I'm not sure if the "card lady" is the ambassador, or if there's another character we can talk to, but it's actually kind of nice

I don't know whether there's a way to start the zone questline by talking to an NPC in a continental zone, and as @SilverBride says, the quest for the card game is separate from the zone questline. I just know that when I was looking for a boat to High Isle on the PTS, I couldn't find one. But I didn't look all over for any "ambassador," so I don't know if or where there's an NPC you can talk to on the continent for starting the zone questline. I didn't think to talk to the card game lady until after I returned to Vivec City after having taken a wayshrine to High Isle, and I only talked to her (back in Vivec City) because I decided I might as well try out the card game before the chapter went live. As soon as I spoke with her and accepted her quest, I saw that it gave me a quest marker for one of the boats in Vivec City, which I swear I'd already checked out earlier to see if any of them went to High Isle, but none of them had mentioned High Isle as far as I can remember.

what is the "official wiki"? does that mean it's made or endorsed by zos?

Every time there's new content, I end up asking this exact same question: where do I start? I shouldn't need to use Google to find out how to access new content. I'm not picky about how they do it (in-game e-mail, something in Notifications, some other obvious thing on my screen, etc.) but it seems like they'd want to make it easier for people to try out the stuff they've worked so hard to create.

Maybe the Collections/Chapter thing is more obvious to people who play all the time, but as a more casual player, it wasn't something that came to mind for me.
