I figure that looks a lot like the Dawn Kata, to be honest.

As for mythical links between Donadar and Humakt, I'd go with some variation of that old story where the child asks the Rabbi why war exists and the Rabbi answers that it is to bring all those beautiful war marches, fight songs, and dirges into the world.

(Been a long time since I've heard that story, so maybe I'm not getting it right.)
