Shinnok's Amulet

The Quan Chi's Amulet is among the most potent and powerful of all mystic talismans within all the planets. And the Amulet itself, is the most magnificent and precious treasure, and yet greatest weapon, belonged to its creator, the evil Elder God Shinnok himself.

It is a gold medallion with a green gemstone embedded in its center. The four sections of the amulet are etched with the elemental forces of Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire. Each includes alchemical symbols, shapes, and parts of I Ching trigrams, all of which pertain to their respective element.

Thousand years ago, Shinnok created the amulet as a central focus of his divine power, in a bid to control all of the Planets. He was only narrowly thwarted by Raiden. For ages thereafter, the amulet remained mostly unknown and hidden deep within the Temple of Elements in Earth. It was later retrieved by the younger Sub-Zero after the Lin Kuei were hired by the oni sorcerer, Quan Chi. Quan Chi had delivered the fake Amulet to his master Shinnok an exact duplicate, while he kept the original himself.

It would thereafter continue to play a major role in the various Mortal Kombat tournaments and struggles for the planets; most notably, during the events of Mortal Kombat 4, when Shinnok would rise from the Noland in another bid for total conquest.

Before the events of Mortal Kombat Deception, when Shujinko gathered all six Kamidogu and placed them on the altar in the Nexus, Onaga the Dragon King of Outworld appears to Shujinko and reveals that the seventh and final spot on the altar is meant for the Secret Amulet -- Quan's Amulet in the hands of the sorcerer Quan Chi. Onaga then returns to Outworld to seek this amulet and begin to reshape the planets.

The secret Amulet of Quan Chi is the only one relic still revered as divine within the twisted religion of the Brotherhood of Shadows because it was the malevolent Elder God's most precious treasure and his greatest creation.

The amulet is also itself featured as one of the collectible within the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat Armageddon under the name "Quan Chi's Amulet" thanks to the clever deception of the wicked demon sorcerer Quan Chi who have already given his eternal master an exact copy of the real amulet he has stolen.

What has become of the Amulet of Quan Chi and the danger it poses remains uncertain.
