			Heaven is particularly restrictive when it comes to foreign exposure. Visitors past the first tier are almost always kept under careful supervision, lest they corrupt the purity of people they get exposed to.

			Therefore the range of inhabitants in Heaven tends to be quite small.

			Mortal souls who find their way here in their after life are referred to as the '''Elect'''. These petitioners take forms that resemble their mortal bodies with wings and halos. Though some do advance to become true Angels or Archons themselves, many are content to find their place and provide honest work in service to heaven's cause. Though they get treated well, they are mostly [[Imperial Guard\|viewed as a resource to be spent]].

			'''Archons''' make up the bulk of the higher ranking entities on the plane. They hold most of the decision making roles in government, though they are crusaders first and administrators second. They are quick to punish those who behave unjustly, giving the impression that they are authoritarian zealots. The truth is they are generally tolerant of any folk as long as they adhere to the laws.

			The fifth layer is dedicated to the heavenly bureaucracy. It is the center of moral debate where the inhabitants spend their time deciphering heaven's "values" and legislating them into policy.

			The "capital" of the plane is located on the sixth tier. The center of law is the '''Grand Court of Heaven''' with a rotating roster of 71 judges takes appeals from 77 lesser celestial courts that roam the planes. The center of government is the '''Court of Accord''' where heaven's leaders discuss matters of importance and also hosts the execution site for criminals found guilty of particularly vile deeds.

			The third layer is a dedicated center of learning, steered towards finding means to better provide service to the cause of Lawful Good. Here stands the '''Great Library''' that contains the sum of Heaven's knowledge, carefully vetted for truth by the ''Veracity Choir''. The Library does welcome extraplanar students, but carefully monitors the them and keeps them away from dangerous texts.

			Clarion also houses an oddity: '''Mirialin''' the city of agnostics. The inhabitants here staunchly refuse to accept any divine authority and are fiercely independent, but nonetheless remain absolutely pure-hearted and aligned with Heaven's goals. Such dedication towards the cause means that very few will question the city's allegiances.

			This realm is for lawful good souls who have no interested in crusading or proselytizing . The fourth layer is an idyllic realm of fields and villages.

			[[Erastil]]'s realm of '''Summerlands''' are here, and contains many portals to other planes that are maintained for the purposes of trade. Such a breach of security flies against the planewide ethos of segregation and the defensive fortification and military drilling done in the other layers, but Erastil argues that exposure to foreign ideas is absolutely necessary for reminding oneself what makes them unique.
