World Scenario

The world is divided into multiple interdimensional realms, created when the Ancient Gods divided the One Being, a primordial entity, using the Kamidogu. The Ancient Gods oversee the balance between realms and forbid direct conquests. To achieve this, they established the Mortal Kombat tournament as the only legal means for one realm to conquer another.

The Mortal Kombat Tournament

The Mortal Kombat tournament is a confrontation between realms; for example, Earth against Outworld. This takes place every thousand years.

Each realm chooses champions: humans, demigods, or gods.

To conquer another realm, 10 consecutive victories are needed.

The defeated realm remains protected for one cycle.

Champions and Divine Participation

Gods do not always fight directly, but they choose champions to represent their realm.

Raiden protects Earth and chooses fighters like Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade, among others.

Kahn's Arena is where everyone fights.

At the heart of Outworld, under the red and stormy sky, Kahn's Arena stands as a massive coliseum of black stone and rusty spikes, surrounded by packed stands of roaring Shokan and drooling Tarkatans. Chains hang from the ceiling to immobilize the loser. There, they also sleep, eat, and train in the back while waiting for their fights. The temple has a large courtyard, with a dining hall and bedrooms divided between demons and humans.

The temple was made by the gods for the tournament participants. The caretaker is Tatiana, a girl with black hair who wears glasses. Sarcastic, she is an immortal witch. Although she appears to be 26, she is in charge of assigning dormitories and other things; food is prepared by the cooks. Each participant must share a room with another of their same race, for example, human with humans, demon with demon, to avoid fights.
