The Logath were originally a confederation of tribes who held lands just to the east of the Khazaks (the tribes of the Great Khan) and north east of Kadia. They shared many cultural similarities with the Khazaks including being influenced by Kadian philosophy. They were, however, one of the first tribes conquered by the Great Khan as
he began the westward expansion of his empire. A nomadic people like their southern cousins the
Sagath they were uprooted from their homeland, incorporated into the
Khan's armies and eventually resettled in the northern plains of Sankhar displacing the eastern tribes of the
Marwhini.
The Logath settled quickly into their new home which they found not unlike the plains they had been driven
west from and for which their lifestyle was suited. They found a common language with which to negotiate
with the
Kenzin through their knowledge of Kadian philosophy.
The Marwhini they respected as warriors and were only too happy to
allow the Kenzin to act as honest brokers in boundary disputes about tribal lands.
Although they didn't chafe under imperial rule like the Sagath to the south they were only too happy to join in
the rebellion of 57 which secured independence for Sankhar. In warfare they make excellent use of the manoeuvrabilty
of their small horses and are deadly archers from horseback. As the years progressed although the Logath
maintained their nomadic lifestyle the northern plains became dotted with trading posts which were mostly
run by the Kenzin. When the Gnoll Horde invaded the northern plains
in 622, however, it was these fixed settlements that suffered the most leading to many of those displaced to
seek new homes in the West.
Although the Gnolls were defeated and driven out of Sankhar the threat of gnoll raids remains to this day and
trading settlements on the northern plains tend to be fewer in number but better fortified. The Logath meanwhile
maintain their traditional lifestyle which although heavily influenced by Kadian and Kenzin philosophy also
has many folk customs, traditions and superstitions which are the shadows of their own more ancient religions.
