Swords of Ilkan

The Swords of Ilkan are non-cannon artifacts in the Mortal Kombat world. They appear in the 10th episode of Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm. Together the two swords have the ability to open portals to another realms. In Defenders of the Realm Zara, an old enemie of the princess Kitana, wanted the swords for herself and for that she betrayed Kitana and Ramath, what led to Ramath's death and Zara's banishment. Years later Zara reappered and kidnaped Jax forcing Kitana and Sonya to search for the blades.

Kitana and Sonya found the blade but instead of giving it to Zara, Kitana decided to fight. Zara was defeated and Kitana throwed the swords into a portal.
