Heaven, Ltd. (pronounced Heaven, Limited, also simply referred to as Heavens or more generally the angelic faction) is a major faction in the Mazes and one of the major religious organizations in the Mazes.
Organization
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
- Elder Archangel Samael, Envoy of Perseverance
- Elder Archangel Raphael, Envoy of Mercy
- Elder Archangel Sachiel, Envoy of Determination
- Elder Archangel Anael, Envoy of Integrity
- Elder Archangel Cassiel, Envoy of Honesty
Under the Elder Council's command is the bulk of Heaven's hierarchy:
- A-rank: Archangels
- B-rank: Seraphs
- C-rank: Shrine maidens, Feathered serpents, Guardian angels
- D-rank: Angels, Pterolykoi
- E-rank: Cherubim
Purpose
Heaven's stated mission is the promotion of the Seven Virtues, the basic tenets of Angelic faith:
- Chastity and sexual restraint
- Temperance and moderation
- Charity and generosity
- Diligence and hard work
- Patience and calmness
- Kindness and altruism
- Humility and modesty
The angelic place of worship is the shrine, located 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.
