Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions.

[...] The Drownies' pronouncement has given all islanders license to perform their own dormant and idiosyncratic rituals with much pomp [...]. All hope that their sacrifice will be the one to reawaken the zee, and bring in her bountiful tides once more.

Game Instructions: Raise your Fivefold Devotion to appease the zee. When your Devotion is 5 or higher, you may visit the fishing boats to dive for treasure. The higher your Devotion, the longer and more profitable your dives can get.

Unlocked with London's Season: Fruits of the Zee is exactly 1 (World Quality, now locked), A Fruitless Harvest 6

  Wiki note: The Math involved in this action is not yet known

  Math Guessing

  It seems likely that the economic rewards follow the same logistic pattern as the other Supplication on the Shore options, scaled up by a factor of 5, giving the two equations below. However, it's unlikely enough data will be collected to confirm or deny this. ${\displaystyle Zee\ Ztories=5+{35 \over {1+e^{-0.03{(Watchful-115)}}}}}$and ${\displaystyle Cryptic\ Clues=125+{875 \over {1+e^{-0.03{(Watchful-115)}}}}}$
