I was thinking Zoroaster's teachings focused on Ahura Mazda, creator of heaven and earth, in much the same way that the Loskalm people focused on Insravel (before the God-Learners).

Greg-

"To the worshippers of Irensavel, Malakion was the evil and corrupt demiurge who purpose was to keep people in the gross and bloated clutches of the material world. Living Irensavel's Pure Life would allow people to be freed and become one with that transcendent entity."

"Zoroaster's teachings centred on Ahura Mazda, creator of heaven and earth, the source of the alternation of light and darkness, the sovereign lawgiver, and the very centre of nature. It is not certain that Zoroaster was the first to proclaim Ahura Mazda. This deity appears as the great god of Darius I (522-486 BC), through it's not known if Darius heard of him independently or through Zoroaster's disciples . Monotheism was still a radical idea at this time, so even his teachings contain the seeds of dualism, in as much as the world is split sharply into the struggle of Good divinity against Evil demiurges*."
