It is situated in a fertile valley, bordered by the Whispering Mountains to the north and the Azure River to the south. The village's economy is primarily agricultural, with its inhabitants cultivating grains, fruits, and a unique local herb known for its medicinal properties.

The history of Massamalleja is largely unrecorded, with local lore suggesting it was founded centuries ago by a group of nomadic settlers seeking refuge. Over time, the community developed its own distinct traditions and dialect, influenced by the surrounding natural environment and sporadic trade with neighboring settlements. The village architecture reflects this history, with simple stone dwellings and a central marketplace that has been the heart of community life for generations.

Geographically, Massamalleja experiences a temperate climate with distinct seasons. Summers are warm and dry, while winters are cool and wet, supporting the region's agricultural output. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills, dense forests, and the winding Azure River, which is a vital source of water and a popular spot for fishing.

The inhabitants of Massamalleja are known for their close-knit community and a strong sense of tradition. While largely self-sufficient, the village engages in limited trade, exchanging its agricultural products for goods not readily available locally. The village is governed by a council of elders, who make decisions concerning community matters and dispute resolution. Massamalleja remains a quiet and relatively isolated settlement, preserving its unique cultural identity.
