There once was a poor man from Citta Atena who was named Yosha Bin Vone. Yosha was visited by the God Hermes in his sleep who delivered. Message from the Gods that he would found a powerful kingdom. But how he asked, he had no money, he was unworthy, and he had 7 children to feed.

So the Gods proved their favour in him by giving him a chariot of Gold to sell in the market to seek passage to the northern fields of Meelae. Here on the banks of the mighty Tellawow river, he built a citta named Melloch. The people there upon who inhabited Meelae, therefore became the O'Mellochaë. Highly devoted to the Gods they became skilled merchants, bankers, lenders, priest, and warriors. Soon Melloch became a prosperous land envied by all the other tribes of the land. 

In the 15 month of the 77th year of Bin Vone's creation, the Gods gifted Melloch with a beautiful chariot of golden fire. It soon became the envy of nearby Athens who had been too full of it's self and had forgotten to please the Gods. Could Mother Goddess Pallas Athena truly decide that the city that bore her name no longer be worthy of her divinity? So the Athenians erected a massive Shrine to their Mother Goddess melting all the gold of ancient days gone past and building a new Temple to surround it. The God's pleased Melloch soon lost favour with the Gods and eventually it lay in a ruined wasteland of what it once had been.
