About Edenia

As its name suggests, the world of Edenia is one closely resembling the garden of Eden. It is a very fertile world, and its inhabitants seem to age much more slowly than normal humans would. They also appear to be preoccupied intensely with magic. It is a feudal monarchy much like most other realms in the Mortal Kombat universe. Edenia is also notorious for being invaded or annexed numerous times by other realms such as Outworld. Of all realms, it appears to be closest to Earthrealm in terms of environment and population. The Fall of Man by Lucas Cranach, a 16th century German depiction of Eden The Garden of Eden (from Hebrew Gan Ēden, גַּן עֵדֶן) is described by the Book of Genesis as being the place where the first man - Adam - and woman - Eve - lived after they were created by God. ... Feudalism comes from the Late Latin word feudum, itself borrowed from a Germanic root *fehu, a commonly used term in the Middle Ages which means fief, or land held under certain obligations by feodati. ... Places where monarchies maintain rule appear in blue. ... Outworld (Mortal Kombat: Deception). ... About Earthrealm More commonly referred to just as Earth, this realm has a very deep and rich mythology within the Mortal Kombat Universe. ...


The earliest known ruler of Edenia was king Jerrod. His best warriors lost ten Mortal Kombat tournaments in a row to the warriors of Outworld's ruler, Shao Kahn. By the rulings of the Elder Gods, this granted Kahn the power to invade Edenia. Outworld won the subsequent war and Edenia was annexed. To legitimise himself, Kahn forced queen Sindel into a marriage and adopted her daughter Kitana, among other members of the royal household. Edenia would be freed 10,000 years later from Kahn's grasp when his hold on power began to weaken due to his failed invasion of Earthrealm. With brief intermezzos of war and abduction by evil forces, Sindel has been Edenia's queen ever since. Jerrod was the King of Edenia. ...

Trivia

For some years, it was unknown among fans whether Edenia was Outworld's former name, before it became corrupted by Shao Kahn, or a true world in its own right. This misunderstanding was finally cleared up in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is a video game developed and produced by Midway. ...


Relationships with other realms

There is no doubt since Earthrealm helped free Edenia from Kahn's grasp that the people of Edenia see the Earthrealm as an ally. There is some question about the Realm of Order, though; Edenians seem to consider them an ally. However, they are fully aware of how repressive the Orderrealm can be at times. Because of Outworld's conquest of Edenia, the two are definite foes so long as Kahn remains ruler. The only real attempt seen to make peace between them occurred during the beginning of MK4, when Kitana was in the process of trying to organize peace in the realm. Kung Lao's ending in MK:Gold shows the only sign that Kitana's attempts at peace were successful. Mortal Kombat 4 (1997) was the last game in the Mortal Kombat series to have an arcade version. ...
