The Disks of Mishakal are a set of 160 platinum disks, each one sixteenth of an inch thick and eighteen inches in diameter and weigh fifteen pounds. Words of an unknown language are beaten into both sides of each disk, and a golden ring binds the disks together in such a way that each disk can swivel out to be read. The translated words of a single disk can easily fill dozens of pages.

Good-hearted individuals can safely handle and read the disks; all others receive a shock upon merely touching them. A good-hearted individual who reads the disks gains knowledge about six of the Gods of Light: Branchala, Habbakuk, Kiri-Jolith, Majere, Mishakal and Paladine. This knowledge is sufficient to start the individual down the path to becoming a true cleric of one of the Gods of Light.
The Disks were created by Erial Caladon ne Tempus and three Silvanesti elf clerics at the request of Karthay Pah early in the Age of Might. The Silvanesti elves sent the Disks to Qualinesti to keep them away from the Kingpriests, but they were stolen before they could reach the western elven nation.
Some Zhakar dwarves briefly recovered the Disks in 255 PC but lost them soon afterward. Kingpriest Symeon II heard of their brief recovery and offered a bounty for their safe return, but this would prove unsuccessful. Roughly a century later, a Qué-Shu plainsman known as Clearbrook brought the Disks to the Temple of Mishakal in Xak Tsaroth.
