My interpretation of their origins based on the passage on the fall of Syl Anagist, is that orogenes are the progeny of Kelenli. She looked like them in all ways but one (her advanced sessapinae) and therefore escaped their control. All the other 'tuners' either died or became stone eaters. Father Earth still hunted orogenes and sought to control them via what became Guardians, but even they had variable levels of compliance to this plan based on their individual wills as evidenced in Shaffa's character.
