Changes: Shao Kahn's Fortress

Revision as of 21:11, 6 March 2011

Shao Kahn's Fortress emerged in Earthrealm

Shao Kahn's Fortress is home to Shao Kahn the Konquerer, it is located in Outworld, and it is heavily guarded by his militia. It first appeared in Mortal Kombat 3.

Overview

The centerpiece is a huge granite palace with a giant skull structure which represents Shao Kahn's helmet atop its tower. It is filled with elevators and traps and is ever guarded by Shao Kahn's militia. It contains dungeons and an armory in the lower levels. Also in the lower level lies a hidden cave-like arena and a strange chamber. Between the lower level and the middle level is a first balcony. In the middle level is a huge statue room where the enchanted giant statue of the Konquerer resides, and a balcony. Also within the middle level are a temple-like chapel, and a stairway inside a tower which is part of the fortress, and a pit-like chamber. Between the lower middle and the upper level is a second balcony. The upper level contains a map room and finally a throne room.

It once appeared in one of the cities of Earthrealm during Shao Kahn's invasion. When Shao Kahn was defeated by Liu Kang and his friends, the fortress began to release massive amounts of energy that consisted of the souls that had been captured. The fortress rushed into the portal in the Earth's sky and returned to Outworld. This signalled the end of Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm.

It was sometimes called "The Shao Kahn Tower."

Movie & TV Appearances

Shao Kahn's Fortress (sometimes referred to as Shao Kahn's Palace) made its appearance in the series Mortal Kombat: Conquest. The Emperor's imperial palace sits on a mountain top in a mountainous region in Outworld. It has a appearance of an Asian-styled castle with two errie claw-like towers each next to the fortress, it has a skull-like feature attached on the citadel's tall tower.

The Konquerer's fortress made its another appearance in animated series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm including its final episode Overthrown as a decadent, towering castle in Outworld.

Shao Kahn's Fortress made one more appearance in the second Mortal Kombat film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation but in a different form: a giant dome-like palace with a horned visage, sitting on the top of a mountain and it is still located in the realm of Outworld. It is there during Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm and before the final battle between Liu Kang and his fellow warriors against the Emperor and his generals.
