Lei Chen

"Teh Walled Sity of Lei Chen is an amazing fortress build and ruled by Overlord Zaffero."

- Citizen of Outworld

Lei Chen is a walled city named after the the Lei Chen Mountains, a mountainous native region of Outworld, that was build and is currently ruled by Overlord Zeffeero.

Zeffeero once served Shao Kahn for many years, but recently challenged the emperor. Shao Kahn, after years of trying to take over his city at all cost, sent Mileena and the Tarkatan mutant foot soldiers to retake the city, offering the overlord a choice: give the emperor his head and have the city's population spared, or have the entire city wiped out.

Shujinko, while exploring the dangerouse planet of Outworld, delivered this message to him personally from Mileena, but he refused the give up. He then asked Shujinko to get help from the Orderworld. Without the Outworld Kamidogu, Shujinko offered Hotaru the city itself as payment, which he soon collected. Defeating Mileena's army, Hotaru then killed Zeffeero and took over the city in the name of Order.

Beyond the city, on island but not far from the city itself, lies a giant structure called the Shao Kahn's Castle.
