White Lotus Society

The White Lotus Society is an organization within the Mortal Kombat Universe that was founded by Raiden, the immortal protector of Earthrealm.

Overview
The Society was jointly founded by Raiden, the immortal protector of Earthrealm, and the Shaolin Order of Light sect following the death of Great Kung Lao at the hands of Goro in Mortal Kombat. Ever since the Sorcerer Shang Tsung defeated the longtime champion with the assistance of a new recruit from Outworld, it became apparent, that Earthrealm was vulnerable to attack, not just by native enemies, but from ones that come from foreign worlds as well. As a result, Raiden and the monks agreed to handpick a group of champions from among the best fighters among Earthrealm. This group would be dedicated their lives to learning and understanding on how to defend the independence of Earthrealm from the threats of other worlds.

The existence of the society was kept secret from those who were uninitiated to the organization which lead to rumors being spread through the population. Because of that most people are unaware of the existence of other realms, knowing only the existence of the Order of Light and its involvement with Earthrealm.

The recruits in the organization do not necessarily be monks that are affiliated with the Order of Light, and commitment to the organization does not have to be for life. Members of the organization can leave it any time which results in the organization not being known, but are considered to be small. The members identify each other by a white headband bearing the Buddhist symbol of an eight-petaled lotus. Their martial arts skills may be acquired from native or foreign sources, but the fighters must be from Earthrealm.
