The series takes place in a fictional universe consisting of eighteen surviving realms which, according to in-game backstories, were created by an ancient pantheon of eternal, ethereal and preternatural divine beings, known as the Elder Gods. The Elder Gods decreed that the denizens of one realm could only conquer another realm by defeating the defending realm’s greatest warriors in ten consecutive Mortal Kombat tournaments.
