the Arcanist Inquisition
After unifying the three provinces, Sagrado Valieda ordered the creation of the religious order called the Arcanist Inquisition, whose function was to control and limit the use of magic in the provinces. According to what the Arch Seraph Empyreus had told Valieda, magic was a curse that endangered its wielders and everyone who associated with them.
The Inquisitors patrolled the provinces, spreading their teachings about the dangers of magic, stirring mistrust in the population. After some time, they began to arrest those known to be magically gifted and brought them to their cells, where they would supposedly live a life of humble service to the Arch Seraph. The Inquisitors were eager to find these people at the youngest possible age, as they claimed the threat of magic could be more easily contained in the young whose magical abilities had not fully emerged.

Provinces are advised to disguise their abilities or find a
different route. As the Castinellan clerics often say, the
climate of their land isn’t agreeable to mages.
The Arcanist Inquisition is currently headquartered in
the Cathedral of Embers, located in the Shattered Peaks
of Therpena province.
