Among the spirits, there is a pecking order that is expected to be followed. It is similar to a class system like in Sajagul, only there are no distinct penalties for going against the established order. This order does not denote who is a servant to whom, or who is more powerful although power is important. Rather, the hierarchy expands on who should listen to who and who has 'the right of way', so to speak. The following is what's known as the Hierarchy of Heaven:
- The Four Guardians: The dragon god of Sajagul, the phoenix goddess of Yanwo, the kirin god of Kiba, and the turtle goddess of the spirit world are all the top ranking gods of the world. They do not rule the spirit world, but they are considered very powerful and therefore the alphas of the world.
- Gods: All other gods are second to The Four Guardians.
- Animal Spirits: Animal spirits are not stronger than lesser spirits or remains, but because of their raw power and connection to nature they are third in the hierarchy.
- Lesser Spirits: Lesser spirits are below animal spirits. Most lesser spirits do not like the hierarchy because of their low status, and so they constantly rebel against animal spirits, try to trick gods, or take out their bitterness on mortals.
- Remains: Because they were once mortal, remains are the lowest class in the spirit world.
- Mortals: Mortals are stepping stones, food, and entertainment. There is nothing lower than a mortal in the eyes of most spirits.
