Followers of Magism, or Magi, around the sacred fire. They were followers of Zoroastrianism around the time of Darius the Great, (522 BCE to 486 BCE) . Magism recognises the existence of multiple deities, including those of other religions. According to the Magi creation myth, the universe was once formless chaos, where fundamental concepts such as space, time, and even matter held no meaning and life could not exist. God imposed order on this chaos: the heavens were aligned in their current form, physical interactions were made constant, and time was forced to flow linearly.
