I do not profess to be a historian of Achaea's proud history, and my knowledge
of the history of Logoskah is also limited. What little I do know, I have gleaned
from the same sources- literature of Achaea's history, and rumors/myths that
I have heard native Achaens speak of. It seems that there are those who
do not celebrate Logosmas, but have their own seasonal holiday, which I have
heard called Logoskah. I am not completely certain of the history of
Logoskah, but what I have heard is as follows: Long before Ashtan and Shallam
became the cities that they are, a smaller village was under attack.
Accoring to the myth, these villagers had but one day's worth of
lighting, yet somehow the illumination lasted 9 nights. What I have
been told is that when the anniversary of this event comes around,
those who believe celebrate it by lighting what I believe they called
a "menorah". They have said that the 9 illuminants on the menorah
represent the 9 achaean days that the light burned.
If this information is contradictory to the actual hisory of Achaea, I
apologize, in advance, for my ignorance.

I would also like to apologize for my apparent lack of writing skills,
as demonstrated above.
