Well then we apply Rationalisation - the representatives from Pasos and Nolos were busy trying to agree a trading monopoly with the East Isles representative, who was worried that the ban on tapping would not go down well as it was their main weapons against the sea daemons who threatened them. We explained to him that although the Council's ban would be expected to be upheld, obviously not everyone could be expected to live a flawless life all the time, and if the wizards of his faith were forced to tap these creatures to save their lives, and then did suitable penance for their lapse, it would be possible for a duly ordained bishop to forgive their sins....
