Info:

The Heavenly Discs are circles almost the size of continents, misnamed “Discs” and more like masses of land and earth, that are suspended in space, rotating around their Celestial Lamp. There are 15 major Discs, and almost 40 known Discs. Some of the smaller discs serve as plantation or farm discs, with the sole inhabitants being the workers or farmers. Thin land bridges, around half a mile wide connect every disc with another one.
A variety of races inhabit the Discs, with the main sentient races being fengari (ibis men), humans, elves (called alabasts), dwarves, giants, and minotaurs. Humans can be found everywhere in the Discs, as can alabasts
Magic runs rampant in the Discs. Anyone who knows the right words can cast a simple spell: it’s just about who wants to take the time to memorize every arcane ritual. Mishappens of Magic are apparent through magical, misshapen beasts. Random magic happenings aren’t uncommon.
A thousand years ago, Jahat, what used to be the biggest and most powerful disc, was destroyed by an alien demon race called the Dracoliches. Dracoliches looked much like the drakes of the Discs, but were skeletons instead. The Dracoliches were trying to create 666 wormholes to 667 realms in the universe, which resulted in Jahat shattering and fell to the discs below. (The only way to kill a Dracolich is with silver with certain spells said over it). This is known as Earthfall. The Dracoliches now vie for power of the Discs with the wizards and other spellcasters that live in the discs.

The Arcane Inquisition:

Current Leaders:
- Gi-Backa Al-Wazir (Male Giant Cavalier):
Gi-Backa was a bad person. He grew up an urchin on the streets of Corten. He stole things, using his brute strength to his advantage, blew up stuff, and fought the law. The law, did in fact, often win.
A stranger one day came to Gi-Backa and told him of a dream: that one day, all would do good. After that day, Gi-Backa miraculously became an upstanding citizen, even becoming a nobleman. One day, he disappeared from Corten, believed to have died, but in truth, he stole away to Shkhari.
He finally did find out who that stranger was. Nicademus Cooper. Together, they founded the Arcane Inquisition.

From that day forward, Frigga dedicated her to restoring the honor of many people

Info: The Inquisition was founded by The Masters (listed above) in an effort to eradicate the misuse of magic all through the planes.
Two members, one male, one female, of each of the major races lead the Inquisition. Each race has its own way of dealing with the predicament of magic abuse.
Though they seem like they don't want magic at all, that is not true. They just believe that magic was intended for certain purposes, as a tool, and not something to overuse. In fact, many of the members are casters of both sorts.
The Inquisition's main base is in the middle of the Eyoimark desert of Shkhari, hidden by many charms.
The giants of the Inquisition, being the most socially accepted, are often the ones to leave HQ and recrute new members.
The Inquisition has anti-magic officers in every city that has a major mage's guild who wants to keep the competition to a minimum. They are also greatly sponsored by the half-disc Te to keep out any arcane activity.
