What is history and what is fiction?
Open reconstructionThe chapter is literary theology rather than recoverable event history.
Historical anchor
Zoroastrian teachings were transmitted through priestly and communal traditions; this specific order and seal are fictional.
Fiction boundary
The Flamekeepers, Seal of the Open Hand, and oath are invented continuity devices.
