The first contact happened after they noticed humans couldn't perceive their presence. Due to their desire and curiosity to interact with them, they possesed the body of a recently deceased men, which couldn't contain them for long. As they arrived in the village, the body was already starting to fall apart and bled from all orifices, which greatly scared the residents. The body fell apart shortly after. Later in the past, Erude lived with their children like a parent, teaching and caring for them, until they were threatened by the outside world and they sacrificed themself to protect their offspring. The next contact happened after centuries, when they were discovered by the resistance by accident.

Erude couldn't interact with humans, so they made a body that could contain her based on the DNA of humans. This resulted in an embryo which died shortly after creation. The second embryo was cultivated "inside" their body after seeing humans do it like this, until it could live and had the energy of the light of the day mixed in to strengthen it. But to Erudes surprise it developed it's own soul before being fully grown. Not being able to use it and not having the heart to destroy it and start anew, they observed it instead and grew fond of it, nursing it and watching it grow. This was the birth of the first Amitoi. Starting to admire the earths nature, they created more of those little beings one by one, many based on natures features. The demons were based on the dark of the night, the elementals on the elements of fire, water, lightning and air. To help raising them and keep them warm, they created the fire elementarian Ea akan'eran.
