The most powerful sect in Sacred Valley — self-important Jades who rule their tiny domain with the arrogance of Monarchs, unaware they'd be nothing outside the mountains.
Heaven's Glory considers itself the apex of Sacred Valley. Their strongest elders are Jades, which makes them untouchable within the valley and barely worth noticing outside it. They hoard techniques, maintain strict hierarchies, and treat the lesser clans with the casual contempt of people who have never encountered real power. They killed the Sword Sage when he entered the valley and was weakened by the suppression field — an act of petty territorial violence that set Yerin's entire arc in motion. They're dangerous within their domain and pathetic outside it, which makes them a useful reminder that power is always contextual.
A fortified compound built into the mountainside with sweeping architecture that mimics grander structures from outside the valley — tiered roofs, carved pillars, and training halls that echo with cycling exercises. Their banner shows a golden sunrise over mountains. The construction quality is impressive by valley standards but crude compared to anything in the Blackflame Empire.
