It is only considered madness because so few want to see the truth.
The Kami were once the trusted disciples of Jena and the Karavan were their bodyguards. The two factions worked together advancing the will of the Creator. In a desire to grow closer to Jena, the priests created a collective consciousness capable of forcefully uniting with all types of life in a desire to become more godlike. They deceived themselves into thinking they were doing Her will
They had not have delved into the depths of the planet physically but their hungry spirits traveled carelessly. As their souls descended into the abyss, they were consumed with the rage of the destroyer. Not all of the followers of Jena had embraced the call for spiritual possession of the planet, but all creatures with a soul were changed, some could now send mental messages to each other across any distance, some could manipulate the elements, all of their bodies changed.
The guards, the soldiers, the Karavan many remained unaffected. Their armor had protected them from the collective will that had transfigured the populace. The Karavan aided those who had not actively sought the transformation and who had maintained a sense of themselves. The Karavan protected these new peoples, they helped them build and establish cities, aided them in transport and helped them fight against the terrors that were being created by the monstrosities of the strengthening collective mind.
With loses approaching 80% the Karavan were successful, Atys flourished. Until eventually most had forgotten about the Dragon and only a handful were aware that Atys was becoming possessed by the collective will of Ma-Duk. His minions lacked form, they were creatures of spirit in search of a shell.
No one is exactly sure who bred the first Kami, or how, but they were an instant commercial success, every family desired one, soon every household had a Kami in it. They were cute and lovable. They were everywhere. The Kami changed rapidly, they went from pets to servants in a generation. The creatures quickly advanced until they had no need for homins at all. One day, they just left.
They were not heard from again until after the great fire demanding to be worshiped.
