ok, just read the Lore F.A.Q. and am quite horrified...
(It is about as helpful as saying that there is no sand in the desert :( )
To produce such complicated explanations when the most simple is obvious. There are very few children on Atys because homins are not human. In character they know very little about their origin, their minds having been tampered with by kara and kamis... The ability to reproduce is seen in a few families of each nation (often the leading families- might be why they were made leaders because their family had this miracle in it), but we have no evidence if they are just resistant to higher powers birth control, if they possess some sort of innate fertility that the rest of the population never had, or if the 'children' are even the biological offspring of the parents and not the newest homin version created by karavan experiments.
An OOC explanation is that kara/kami implant fetuses into hominas. In character this could be viewed like a stork delivering a baby, or Yber in the case of Atys...
