Overview
According to the new area post on the welcome board.
New Area: The Seven Heavens
In religious or mythological cosmology, the seven heavens refer to the seven divisions of the Heavens: The abode of immortal
beings, or the visible sky, including the expanse containing the Sun, Moon, and stars. This concept dates back to ancient
Mesopotamian mythologies and can later be found in the Abrahamic religions such as Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. The
Seven Heavens is a new area in Ancient and can be approached by solo characters for levels 45+. Some encounters and quests
in the area, however, will require a small group to complete.
The Seven Heavens has a similar gameplay to that of Inferno and Medieval Japan in a sense that it is an area heavily based
on completing quests to gain progress and discover & explore its secrets.
Seven Heavens can be dangerous as there are plenty of aggresive mobs that wander within their designated area. It is highly recommended that you bring friends on your first venture. If need be, you can always recall out if you are stuck or need to leave.

##Access to Shehaqim, the Third Heaven.
There is no special method of accessing the Third Heaven. There are numerous aggressive mobs on this layer - Cherubim Enforcers are agg until you prove your worth as a demon Slayer to Raziel; fallen Grigori and Azazyel are always agg, but you can speed walk through their rooms.
##Access to Zebul, the name of the Fourth Heaven.
Zebul is mostly dominated by the astral sea, a large maze with a number of floating islands in it, each with a point of interest. It's a pretty straightforward maze. You need to be friendly with Seven Heavens Archons in order to get through the maze. On the Raqia layer, go to the manna mill and buy a handful of manna. Find the soul of Daedalus near the entrance, and give him the manna. He'll give you a memory globe, and tell you to give it to his son Icarus. Icarus is in the stone maze, behind all the Cherub Enforcers on the Shehaqim Layer. Give him the globe and he'll give you the angel wings of Icarus, a timed aux item. You'll need to be flying, in addition to wearing the wings (they don't make you fly), to get through the Astral Sea. Note that if you move into the wrong room, you'll be put into a room with a south exit and a down exit; the down exit takes you to the recall room at the start if the area, so it's a fast and efficient means of leaving the area. The south exit takes you to the start of the Astral Sea and drains around 500 Mana from you. Any time you leave any maze room in the Astral Sea via the south exit of that room and land on one of the floating islands, you are also subject to this Mana drain. It sucks.
The final island has a fountain and a musician angel on it (and is where Sargon of Akkad spawns from the cenotaph in Raqia). Ask the musician transport, and he will move you to the next layer. In the same fashion as Michael, sleeping in the room to which the musician angel transports you will return you to the musician angel's room in Zebul.
