The Paladins, like the Infernals, are also trained to employ venoms in
battle and no doubt would in many circumstances be among the
Shadowsnakes best customers. The Paladins, apparently unlike the
Infernals, respect the guild of the Shadowsnakes and understand of
course that they can use their skills as they wish and appreciate how
they are willing to trade with us. The Paladins will at this time not be
joining with the Infernals in a boycott, and since these two guilds make
up easily 80% of the buyers market, I would say that said boycott will
be ineffectual.

In other words, the Shadowsnakes do have the right to decide what venoms
we can buy, because they are the ones who make the venoms.
