Sorry I know as an Iranian I should know more about Zoroastrian (زرتشتی) but actually don't know much about it
It's completely understandable, we're hoarding all the zoroastrians in India after all. Still, I would've thought that something of pre-islamic culture would've survived in the folklore of the common people.
Do you know of any such legends?
Edit: such as your name. Merlin the wizard/mage. Mage from Magi. Magi from the ancient persian Magus. Magus meaning learned ones, the ones we called the priests of fire/priests of Sun in India.
This is really cool. As an Iranian I'm ashamed I will have to expand my knowledge on this. Thank you
Glad I could inspire your curiosity!
There are other people here who know much more also there are still Zoroastrians here too definitely not as much as India though. I'm an ignorant idiot who doesn't know his culture 😑
