Yeah...that kinda struck me during MKD Konquest

No offence, but isn't it obvious? Edenia... Or should I rather say "screaming in the face" obvious

I thought about it the first time I heard the name of that realm and the creators' intentions were clear and explicit to me.

Right. Yes, that is rather obvious, especially considering that like the Garden of Eden, Edenia is essentially a paradise.

For some reason I associate it with He-Man.

I noticed the connection between Eden and Edenia when I first read the CSI: Miami novel "Cult Following". At one point the book mentioned Eden and I thought "Hey wait...Eden...Edenia...Now I get it!". This was also the day the Kitana render for MK vs DC was released...

Oh, well... I knew Edenia had something to do with Eden when I first heard about that realm.

I think Edenia is the MK version of the Garden of Eden, as it seems that all life begins and ends there.

The first MK tournament took place in Edenia, and the Battle of Armageddon took place there as well.

Which first MK tournament are you talking about?

Are you talking about the first game, because I'm pretty sure that was still on Earth. It was more connected to Outworld than to Edenia.

Or are you talking about in overall terms in the MK universe? Even then, though, I think you're still on iffy territory there, as I don't remember it being said that that place was the first to be conquered by Outworld.
