The Haibane Renmei (灰羽連盟 - Ashen Feathers Alliance, officially translated as Charcoal Feather Federation) is an organization in Guri dedicated to helping haibane in their daily lives and in achieving their Day of Flight. Their temple is situated in the western cliffs, not far from a waterfall. A graveyard is mentioned to be nearby.

Constitution, origin and operation

Known members include Washi (the Communicator), the gate keeper and members of the community watch. The Tooga also seem to be closely related.

The Temple

The temple's building itself is cylinder-shaped, surrounding a circular garden populated by lush greenery. An underground passageway opening from the temple leads to the inside of the Wall.

Sign language

Sekai no Hajimari has a page explaining the signs used by the Renmei and the Tooga and visible on the name tags inside the Wall.
