Board Thread:Mortal Kombat (Alternate Timeline)/@comment-4708902-20160729160435

MK is known for having diverse and colorful realms. Earthrealm, Edenia, Outworld, the Chaosrealm, the Orderrealm, the Neatherrealm and Heaven. And I forsee that those realms will continue to be present. But eventually, having only those realms can get a bit tiresome. Eventually, new realms will need to be introduced. And with new realms comes nigh endless possibilities for art, gameplay and story. NRS can make create practically anything they want for new realms. So on this forum, put anything you want in ideas for new realms. Give a name, some info about the realm, it's races, maybe ideas for playable characters from said realm, it's relationship to other realms and why you think it would be good. Here are my personal ideas.

Geteilt: The realm of Geteilt is a divided and troubled realm. It is split between the wealthy Pasur, and the poor Dobet. The Pasur are a race of dragon like humanoids(They look similar to D&D Dragonborn) who live in magnificent houses, mansions and even palaces for the richest of the rich. They wear some of the finest clothings in all the realms, have an education system that rivals the education system of Edenia, and are very protective of their riches and families, and care for both of them dearly and will fight to protect them. Yet they are also known for being snobbish, arrogant, narcissistic and boastful. They conside themselves among the elite of the realms and feel unabliged to aid "lesser people". While they are helpful and protective to their own kind, non-Pasur must be very persuasive in gaining their trust.

The Dobet on the other hand are a race of bearded humanoids who live in ramshackle houses, huts and apartments. They are little more then slaves to the Passur and 94% of them work for the Passur. They have rather dangerous jobs that pay only enough money for the Dobet to survive. The Dobet despise the Passur and are known for kidnapping Passur children and ransoming them for higher payment or better living standards. If their demands are not meet, the Passur child will be killed. This has lead to numorous conflicts between the species and it is not uncommon to find a Passur and a Dobet fighting eachother. While Passur learn fighting in school, Dobet are self-taught fighters. Eventually, the struggles of the other realms results in one of the Kamidogu accidently being transported to Geteilt, and soon the heroes of MK find themselves caught in the middle. Will they take a side or try to resolve the conflict?

I came up with the idea for this realm because I thought it would be interesting to have a realm with warring species. But I needed something they would be fighting over. I decided to make it wealthy vs poor based on real life difficulties between real life rich and poor people. MK may be fantasy, but having real life symbolism in my opinion makes for greater storytelling.

Salvaxe: Salvaxe is famous for being as far as anyone knows, the only realm with no real settlements. It's 100% wilderness. It's inhabitants, the Tsiaj are a tribal race of humanoid beasts, some mamallian, some avian and some replillian. The Tsiaj believe they are above good and evil, above any forces in the universe, as they are nature, the only true and wild untamed force. Despite this, all elements of human life appear in their ways, beauty, revulsion, life, and death. As such they fight fiercly to keep their realm complete wilderness. They also engage in warfare against eachother if one tribe's territory is suffering from a drought or lack of a resource.

Salvaxe was on good terms with Edenia because they are both obsessed with creation and life. But when Shao Kahn conquored Edenia, they severed all ties. Salvaxe is also friendly with the Chaosrealm as their common interest is to let things be, and let everything be untamed. Salvaxe is not on good terms with the Orderrealm as they take pleasure in instilling things. Salvaxe also dislikes Outworld for being a warmongerong realm. Even with Kotal Kahn refusing to conquor other realms, Salvaxe is reluctant to talk. Recently, the Black Dragon has set up shop in Salvaxe and are harvesting the realms resources for making weapons. The heroes decide to try and ally themselves with the Tsiaj... but the Red Dragon got their first. Daegon has promised to help the Tsiaj drive out the Black Dragon. In exchange, Salvaxe must send some of it's best tribal warriors to fight for the Red Dragon in it's interests in the other realms.

As a gamer who loves the wild, I thought it would be fitting to have a nature themed realm. I decided to make the Tsiaj allies of the Red Dragon for two reasons. 1. To give the Red Dragon new members with Mavado and Hsu Hao gone(Though I'd welcome Mavado back with open arms) 2. To add some new flavor in eco themed stories. Instead of the heroes allying with the tribal warriors, the tribal warriors ally with the Red Dragon believing Daegon will help them protect their home. But will Daegon keep his word? Only time will tell.

What new realms would you like to see?
