'''Heaven, Ltd.''' (pronounced ''Heaven, Limited'', also simply referred to as '''Heaven''' or more generally '''the angelic faction''') is a major faction in the Mazes and one of the major religious organizations in the Mazes.<br/>In the Angelic language, "Heaven" is pronounced ''eliziom'' and is sometimes rendered "elysium". The Angelic language script for "Heaven" is shown on the company logo, above the name of the faction in Common.

Heaven, Ltd. describes itself as a "faith company" and follows a strict bureaucratic hierarchy with defined ranks, with the lowest rank being E and the highest rank being A.
Under the Elder Council's command is the bulk of Heaven's hierarchy:
* A-rank: [[Archangel|Archangels]]
* B-rank: [[Seraph|SeraphsSeraphim]]
* C-rank: [[Shrine maiden|Shrine maidens]], [[Feathered serpent|Feathered serpents]], [[Guardian angel|Guardian angels]]
* D-rank: [[Angel|Angels]], [[Pterolykos|Pterolykoi]]
In practice, all angelic creatures have the same basic objectives: to provide company, guidance, and protection to sapients in need. More than being mere combat companions, Angelics operate on the principle that by being in contact and serving as protectors, they can teach Heaven's values to those they protect, in turn increasing their influence over sapients. Their other major objective is to oppose demonic influence and fight demonic creatures at every opportunity. They frequently roam through the Mazes in search of people to protect, as every person they defend (and every Demonic creature they defeat) increases their Angelic Energy, which allows them to perform their various Angelic powers.
The angelic place of worship is the [[shrine]], located . One can be found in each one of the seven towns under the faction's control.
Although they do not necessarily view themselves as the representation of ''good'', Heaven does consider that the values they preach are the most virtuous and orderly. Heaven believes that if the world can be made to follow angelic faith, its peoples would be united and strong through restraint, moderation, cooperation, and resistance to vices and temptations, leading them to build greatness.
In E7-360, Heaven announced the '''Faith-Driven Expansion Plan''', forming four settling parties between E7-360 and E7-363 and founding the towns of [[Caminus]], [[Alba Radium]], [[Divus Nitor]], and [[Beatus]], increasing the number of towns under angelic control from 3 to 7. Hell's response was the '''Demonic Super-Special Enlargement Operation''', resulting in the foundation of five new Demonic towns.
As both factions began expanding their reach and influence, the number of angelic and demonic entities in the Mazes also sharply rose. Inevitably, tensions between the two factions also increased. One of Hell's new towns, [[Abakash]], had been settled uncomfortably close to the older angelic town of [[Ventis]]. A new UA route between both towns had been established, and quickly became the new flashpoint of the angelic-demonic rivalry. Everything to The situation eventually reached a near breaking point in E7-368, when a group of Angelic creatures met a group of Demonic creatures on the Ventis-Abakash road. Both parties refused to let the other pass, the encounter devolving rapidly into a shouting match, and finally into a fight.
Over the hours that followed, each side continued to send reinforcements to the UA room where the fight was taking place, with new forces replacing the eliminated on each side. The battle is virtually constrained to one room, with a few unsuccessful attempts by both sides to gain ground towards the rival town's direction. After 13 hours of sustained conflict and 298 casualties (through a sheer display of coincidence, the casualties are evenly split; 149 angelics and 149 demonics), both sides agreed to let representatives meet with each other to discuss ending the conflict. Ventis sent a shrine maiden while Abakash sent a dark maiden; the two met, briefly discussing terms and conditions on how to end this senseless waste of personnel for both sides.
