The only reference to Dayzatar and Illumination that I'm aware of comes in the Fortunate Succession when the Dayzatar Wise One walks out of a discussion of the God Project and the other Wise Ones use that as evidence the God Project was a good thing.

I don't think Illumination and Dayzatar's Truth are the same thing. To me, Dayzatar's Truth is a more contemplative mysticism that imposes a retreat from the world. As for the connection between Dayzatar and Buserian, I think Dayzatar worshippers are retired Buseri, using their arts to elevate their souls to the sky.
