I’m working on a game setting for pencil and paper Role Playing Games and am including Zoroastrianism as one of the religions in the setting.

I’ve done some research and I am having trouble summing up their core beliefs and codes of conduct. Is there anything Zoroastrianism has like the _commandments or the pillars of islam_ from the Abrahamic religions? It doesn’t have to be very deep, I mean it’s for a game, but I don’t want to describe a living religion incorrectly.

If anyone can give me some help here I’d appreciate it.

There’s the Fravarane…the creed. Don’t know how much it will help you with your game, though:
