Perospectives on the Temple Lore (The Message of the Kamis)
The Kami are a part of Ma-duk, they claim dominion of all the resources of Atys and argue that the planet’s natural resources are in a fragile balance. Their goal for Homins is to transform all of us into becoming one with their collective.
“Your destiny is linked to the life of Atys”, another reference to the inevitable death of the great plant? The Kami can not stop the goo without Homins and do not want to risk a Karavan led mass evacuation of the Homin populace. So they claim the Karavan are foreigners and as such should be destroyed. Remember, Homins are not native to Atys either.
As far as the Karavan stealing resources, has anyone ever seen or heard of the Karavan demanding tribute or payment that has exceeded the demands made by the Kami themselves?
It is through service to the Kami that one gains favor. One of the rewards is the most interesting line in the entire passage, “teleport through the corridors of time.” Is it possible that the Kami themselves were once Homins who have been sent back in time in order to “recruit” more Homins?
To the Kami ‘eternal bliss’ is through praise and service to an entity that only appeared after the swarming and the fall of the homin races.

On the topic of origin, it’s always struck me that the Kami appear as symbionts to the planet. We homins sense their presence like we do that of all ordinary fauna (orange dot on radar). I suppose that means there’s little contesting their belonging to the planet. However, the Karavan appear like ordinary town homins and tribesmen, which would indicate more affinity between homins and the Karavan.
