'''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.
Officially, Heaven's "true" leader is a figure only known as '''The Unnamed Angelic God''' (often shortened to TUAG, pronounced ''twag''). Who or what TUAG exactly is or does is completely unknown, but according to the Elder Council (described below), TUAG is "indubitably the highest of us all". A very rare gravure depicting a black star surrounded by circles made of constantly shifting and staring eyes, bathed in white rays is said to be the most accurate depiction of TUAG.
Practically, Heaven is governed and managed by the '''[[Elder Council]]''', a board of seven elder archangels serving as the directors of the company. The members of the Elder Council are:
* Elder Archangel Michael, Envoy of Bravery (council leader, arguably in charge of the entire faction)
* Elder Archangel Gabriel, Envoy of Justice
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]]. One can be found in each 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.
