Lin Kuei Palace

The Lin Kuei Palace also known as the Lin Kuei Temple is located in the icy region of Arctika in Earthrealm.

Sub-Zero needed a remote base of operations for his newly reformed Lin Kuei. After a long search, he found this mysterious and ancient temple abandoned and frozen in the arctic wilderness and immediately claimed it as the new home of the Lin Kuei clan.

In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, After he learned from a group of monks and their abbot that it was built to honor the Lady of Flame which is his mother Delia, Taven enters the temple and fights various Lin Kuei warriors. After entering a room, he finds an ice coffin and accidentally breaks it, awakening Frost, who was sealed inside the coffin. Frost quickly attacks Taven, but is defeated and she leaves the chamber. Taven continues, but is confronted by Sub-Zero. Taven defeats Sub-Zero. Before the outcome of the battle could be decided, Sub-Zero takes notice to the dragon tattoo he had on his face, commenting that it was similar to the one on the vault door containing the armor Taven's mother left for him. After the fight, Sub-Zero informs about a sealed door within the temple which is impossible to open. Taven, however, tries to open the door and succeeds as he acquires the armor. Then suddenly, the Lin Kuei Palace was invaded and attacked once again, only this time by an army of demonic ninjas, led by Noob Saibot and Smoke. But the two fighters eventually teams up as Taven and Sub-Zero defeat Noob Saibot and Smoke. After Noob's defeat, Sub-Zero tells Taven that Noob Saibot is actually his older brother, who was corrupted in the Netherrealm after his death. Sub-Zero also informs Taven about a mysterious clan known as the Red Dragon whose location is in Charred Mountain.
