To get back on the topic of Armageddon possibly reoccurring in the new timeline, I believe that a sequel to MKX will have sort of theme about Fate vs Free will as some events similar to DA and Deception play out (the rise of a new Deadly Alliance, the Red Dragon taking a more active role to fulfill its goals, and the resurrection of Onaga by different means.) with Raiden seeing himself as leading Team Free will wanting to prevent Armageddon by any means, even if it means committing genocide against all other (if non-threatening) realms, necessary and the Mysterious Woman in White on Team Fate, and several other factions in the middle of it.

As for Edenia, the creators have said it was primarily inspired by the Ancient and Early Islamic Middle-East (Of which can include Egypt depending on how much of Northern Africa one considers to be the Mid-East).
