I'm only going on descriptions I remember from the books, which say
that the Ways were fine back when they were first made. But then the
men started to go crazy, and the Ways became dark and dangerous.
Seems like a pretty direct connection to me.
Of course, this could just be a case of ignorant people talking about
things that happened in the past, and not realyl knowing for sure. But
I would tend to think that sort of misinformation would be kept to a
minimum, lest it make a mokery of the whole invented world and all its
foundations.
