	I think the Vadeli probably introduced Tapping to Pamaltela, and ultimately Fronrit knows of Tapping via the Vadeli. Whether creating a deity of Tap is a Vadeli innovation, a misunderstanding of the Vadeli practices, or a purely Fonritian innovation in the field of 'ways to make Tapping even worse', I don't know. 
	But I think the Fonritians have managed to think of plenty of Bad Shit of their own. Basing your entire cosmology on slavery, and so on.
