I will give the basics of the world, but you guys fill in details (based off Jack727's post):
Gods: There are a group of higher up gods who are more like forces of nature that had left the world for many eons, but have recently returned in different form
Magic: most magic higher than 3rd level is banned by governments for public use, mainly for safety reasons. Fines or jail time can be given for using high level damage spells or other dangerous magic
Primary Religion: Most of the world worships mortals who have the spirits of returned gods, who act as demigods
Genre: Dark Fantasy, mythic fantasy, military campaigning
Races: Hobgoblins are common, and most are LN, NE, and some are NG. Their goblin cousins are more like mischevious troublemakers, and most are chaotic.
Humans are as varied as usual
Orcs tend to be nomadic and chaotic, and most are evil, but several can be good
I realize this is a lot of detail but feel free to add places, battles, names of important figures, heroes, villains, gods, some sort of house system maybe, etc
Lux ex magia is a faction that protests against the 3rd level magic law. They call it pointlessly restrictive and do their best to draw attention to the demigods that can work higher then 3rd levels as well as the good that can be done.
they also run a black market for spell scrolls and books that teach the higher levels spells.
Warlocks are common as they can easily hide their level of magic.
There is an order of knights numbering in the thousands. They dedicate themselves to ferreting out and killing mages and sorcerers. They will not use disguises but are easily spotted using unadorned plate armor with no heraldry but a silver star on a blue field. They are called simply, "The Order." Their dark secret is they are intent on taking over a number of kingdoms with poison and assassination. They have another secretive order of rogues who carry out their darker plans.
~~spreading stories of evil mages, and paying bards they seek to make heroes of, "The Order."

their name translates to light from magic
Mostly nocturnal

Maybe Wild Magic is a common manifestation in this world, hence the view of magic as something dangerous in large amounts that must be controlled.
Warlocks are common as they can easily hide their level of magic.
