Torso: This settlement is a small town formed in the roof of a hollow in the chest of a collapsed statue. The buildings here are carved out of the stone ceiling of the hollow and are connected via an intricate system of bridges and walkways. The residents of Torso are skilled fungi farmers and the lower half of their cavern is covered in vast mushroom fields which they grow for use for almost everything, from food, to clothes, and to medicine. While only having just over 150 permanent residents Torso is the center of the Glowshroom harvesting industry. A large hole, where the statues neck used to be connects Torso to the rest of the sea, and is one of the safest harbors in all of the Gray Seas.
Cat’s Paw: This small settlement is based on one of the few non-humanoid statues in this sea; that of a great sphinx. It has a population of about 50, mostly Catties and other demi-humans. They survive mostly on fishing and hunting Eisenjagers, and are the only group to have successfully eke out (non-fungal) crops on the statues. The residents sell these fresh fruits and vegetables all across the Sea of Statues and to passing ships for exorbitant prices.
The Cranial Abyss: A set of thirteen heads that look into a blue hole that is believed to be bottomless. Strange currents pull things towards the blue hole, and it is believed that ships that cross it will sink before the end of the year.
The Forest of Fingers: Thickets of fingers jut from the water here like limbless stone trees. Hundreds of hands lie just below the waterline, the palms and wrists of which emerge only during low tides. The submerged statues pose an hazard to ships, and a colony of saughin makes the area even more dangerous. Unfortunately many of the Mistways that feed in and out of the Sea of Statues are located near the Forest of Fingers.
The Scales: This fortress-monastery-prison of The Justices, a vigilante organization dedicated to stopping piracy is based off of a set of scales held afloat by an arm that pokes out of the water. Just a dozen of Justices can be found here at any given time, most are out on patrols in other parts of the Gray Sea.
