Earthrealm

Earthrealm is a dimension that featured in the Mortal Kombat series.

History

Original Timeline

Earthrealm was one of many realms that were formed after the Elder Gods shattered the One Being.

Saurians were originally native to Earthrealm, where their civilization thrived countless years ago. However, 65 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous Period, their age came to an end when a war raged amongst the Elder Gods. At the time, it was the God of Darkness Shinnok who had turned against his brethren in order to become the master of the realms and sought to possess Earthrealm. He was opposed by the Thunder God Raiden and the conflict between the two was so devastating that it ravaged Earthrealm, resulting in the K-T event which marked the end of the Mesozoic Era and the dinosaurs. The Saurians and the dinosaurs that remained managed to flee the devastation and were divided between the ones who left to another realm known as Zaterra, where they attempted to rebuild their civilization, which and for a time, it began to thrive once more; and the ones who decided to take refuge in the Hollow Earth instead and endured underground in Earthrealm without interference.

Reboot Timeline

During the Armageddon, Shao Kahn ultimately proved to be the victor causing the destruction of all of existence. In his final moments, Raiden sent his memories back in time to his past self around the time of the Mortal Kombat Tournament. These appeared as scattered visions that the younger Raiden experienced in the hope of averting this dark future and thus causing a change in the timeline.

Earthrealm and Edenia came to be close allies, and have been ever since Earthrealm's warriors freed Edenia from Shao Kahn's rule. The relationship of Liu Kang, the Earthrealm's Mortal Kombat champion, and Edenia's princess Kitana has strengthened that alliance. On the opposing side, Outworld has tenuous relations with Earthrealm, acting as friend and foe with ever shifting allegiances due to changing of Khans. While the Netherrealm and it's affiliates are indefinite foes of Earthrealm, both sides of which having had their respective rulers attempt to control it at some point.
