Yazd in Europa and Crusader Kings

[Racocid]

Does anyone know the rationale for the province of Yazd being Zoroastrian in EU4? Was it just a form of fan-service? In Crusader Kings 2, the DLC I have that goes back furthest is Old Gods. I noticed in Old Gods, Yazd is Sunni. Did the people of Yazd convert from Zoroastrian to Sunni and back again? BTW, I get a kick out of trying to find out how the devs rationalize the holy sites of CK2. Never knew that (supposedly) the tomb of Job is in Dhofar!

Essentially just fan-service. Yazd probably* held one of the larger Zoroastrian communities in EU4's timeframe but it was definitely not majority-Zoroastrian by a long shot.

But Pdox fans are going to be Pdox fans, so they have to have their Zoroastrians.

*Although there has not been very much research on minorities in Safavid Iran beyond the Armenians so this is difficult to say.

Aeshma confirmed.
