I have to disagree... The priests of Ma-Duk would surely have boasted about this, as far as we know them, alright. But maybe not the Kami themselves, mysterious as they are. If these mighty beings didn't inform their worshippers of their deeds - which seems highly likely to me - the bigwigs in front of the temples wouldn't dare to demand the glory, no?
Well, you know that the wonderful Rotoas are in use for alchemy and even serve healing purposes; as such they are a benefit to all Homins. I have never heard the Kami themselves speaking ill of the Matis nor do they seem to hate botanists? Isn't it the Karavan and their nature-threatening technology instead that the Kami vehemently reject? Whatever some priests are spouting (sorry to phrase it like that), the Kami seem to still pin some hope on the Matis and their possible rethinking of things, since their botanists are actually much more careful when manipulating plants than in the past...
(OOC: yes, there are many other plants that could have been used for this purpose. It seems highly unlikely for such plants to grow on sandy sawdust. Completely new plants would be the cat's meow though :) )
