The ivory nuns live in wax churches run by the ivored ones, the elder gods. Their bodies are also made of wax and capable of melting and disfigurement. The amount of dried melting shows both dedication to god but also shame at being imperfect and having to grovel and work to the level of perfect sisters.

Seabeasts live outside of the churches, their elders often becoming wild seamonsters with whaleish bodies. Many live as pirates, they have their own branches of religion within them.
