⚔️ Basic Premise

The Mortal Kombat universe centers on a tournament — Mortal Kombat — a deadly martial arts competition between fighters from various realms (dimensions). The tournament was created to preserve the balance between realms and prevent invasions.

The main two realms are:

  • Earthrealm – Our world, defended by warriors like Liu Kang and Raiden.

  • Outworld – A dark and powerful realm ruled by tyrants like Shao Kahn.

To conquer another realm, a realm must win ten consecutive Mortal Kombat tournaments. Outworld has won nine, and Earthrealm is on the brink of being invaded — unless it can win the tenth tournament.
