The Shokan homelands is a subterranean wold called Kuatan and is located in outworld, there it is ruled from Kuatan Palace by a king and queen (with Prince Goro as their heir) under the rule of Shao-Khan, serving as his finest and most priced warriors, often being challenged for this title by the centaurs (Motaro) but retaining it nonetheless.
