The Early Days
Athens was formed on August 3rd, 2008, from the merger of two smaller alliances, Camelot and Heroes of the Union. It was a project that had been weeks in planning, and was supposed to address deficiencies in each alliance. Camelot, at 600,000 NS, had a large number of bank nations and a decent economics department and guides, while Heroes of the Union, at 700,000 NS, had mostly smaller nations but an excellent recruitment department. The alliance that formed as a result of the merger was called Athens. The new government system, a 5 man "Council of Archons", each with equal power and individual areas of responsibility, was divided and inefficient. Still, the government and membership was optimistic about the promise of the new alliance, and it seemed at first that the sky was the limit. Some of the early notable members of Athens were: Londo Mollari (King of Camelot, the titular head of the new council of Archons, and founder of the short-lived but moderately productive CAFE aqua trade forums), an4rk (founding member of Camelot who came from the Atlantic Shadow Confederation with Londo and Lightningdelta when the ASC merged into Ragnarok), Rsoxbronco1 (a HoTU triumvir and the instigating element in the merger on HoTU's end), PresidentFox (a  HoTU triumvir and former member of IRON), Lightningdelta (Magician and co-founder of Camelot, who came from the Atlantic Shadow Confederation with Londo when ASC merged into Ragnarok), Panfilo (Prince of Camelot and a new Archon in Athens), Kamichi (former co-leader of LUE and former Prince of the Mushroom Kingdom, and Jack the Great (the MoFA of the new alliance).
