I know that druze faith is a syncretism, including elements of shi'ism and other faith, but I see more the Aeolians as Glotanthan equivalents of the Hazaras, that lives as a homogeneous group, are considered as shi'i muslims by muslims, but as budhists by the budhist world, even if their beliefs include elements of mongolian shamanism. This is the earth comparison I used to explain them to my players (even if Lebanon has been a french possession during a few decades, hazaras are best known to french people because of a book by Joseph Kessel).
