The depiction of the Carmanian faith is strongly informed by Zoroastrianism, but the Carmanians didn't spring out of nothing. Much of their underlying philosophy came from the west in the form of Irensavalism in the Second Age. It was applied to the local Pelandan faith when Carmanos proved that the Idovanus disk and the Irensaval disk were the same. (discussed in Revealed Mythologies, I think?)
