First Mortal Kombat tournament

The Mortal Kombat Tournaments, Generally
Millenia ago, it was understood by the Elder Gods that the endless warfare and conquests between the realms was threatening the very fabric of existence. Mortal Kombat was created by the Elder Gods as a safeguard to preserve the cosmic essences of the realms.

A brief description of the Mortal Kombat tournament:

"Every generation, competing realms would send their greatest warriors to compete in the Mortal Kombat tournament. The victor of the tournament is crowned Grand Champion of Mortal Kombat. If a realm can garner ten straight victories via its Grand Champion and other warriors, the victorious realm then earns the right to invade the opposing realm."
