THE HISTORY OF THE TIME LORDS PART III
MIDDLE GALLIFREY
Pre and Morbius Doctors Era
NOTE: If you can
read this line of text then the black back ground to this page didn't
load. 95% of the text is colored so don't worry about it to
much. The stuff in white is all
Fan Speculation and stuff from the Benny Novels. You can read the
white text by "selecting it" with your mouse. I'll try to get
this problem fixed.
This Time Line covers the period leading up to the Doctor's
birth. It
begins 2,000,000 years after Rassilon
assumes power on Gallifrey (based off The Infinity Doctors and The
Gallifrey Chronicles). All
dates are given in Gallifreyan years (which
are the same as earth
years) and are based off the looming of the William
Hartnell Doctor (see Modern Gallifrey), hence they are all
negative.
I have no intention of
infringing on
anybody's ideas or property. This Web page should be viewed as an
advertisement for all the sources that went into making it. I
plan to create a bibliography (and eventually even citations)
when I get time.

?
The event occurred approximately in this
interval.
??
A pretty wild guess as to when this event
took place.
"Through the Millennia, the Time Lords of Gallifrey led a life of peace
and ordered calm, protected against all threats from lesser
civilizations by their great power. But this was to change. . ."
-The Doctor
After
2,000,000 years the Time Lords become the one of the longest lived
culture in the History of the universe. Gallifreyans often claim
to
have had complete power for 10,000,000 years but many lesser
species
believe that the often-quoted 10,000,000-year figure for Time Lord
power was simply made up to suggest a very long time. At the end of the Time War Rassilon
will claim that the Time Lords have been around for 1,000,000,000
years. Its likely that this too is War Era
propaganda. Anthropological
projections indicate that it is utterly impossible for a society such
as Gallifrey’s to remain stagnant for any of the above mentioned
numbers. It is possible
that the
Time Lords being linked to the Fifth Dimension might explain this
inconsistency. Humans and Gallifreyans are the only races whose
cultures can not be accurately predicted by these projections.
??
Patience lives in the House of Lungbarrow for countless generations, posing as a loom born Gallifreyan.
-309,456
(Probably 309456 years before the Doctor's looming)
The Date Index
method of dating goest into use
-249,000
(250,000 before TID)
The Blank
Plague is eradicated. Despite this the chambers of the High
Coundil and the Supreme Council are sterilized before each session.
-156,403
(Date Index 1-5-3-0-5-3)
Pengallia (aka Pandora) is one
of the Prestes of the Sisterhood of Karn and a decendent of the Great
Mother of
Sisterhood of Karn. She
renegades from the Sisterhood and arrives on Gallifrey with a large
amount of Elixir. She convinced the High Council that she could
find a solution to the Curse of sterility and was made a Time
Lady. She takes the name Pandorastrumnelliahanfloriana (aka
Pandora). The name Pandora shows up in the
mythology of
lots of planets. In every case she unlocks things that should
have remained hidden.
??
Time
Lady
Pandorastrumnelliahanfloriana develops a theory that states that if the
psychic reduplication processes used by the Friars of Pangloss were
every used in an area of space on the fringe of normal space and/or
unsimple special interfaces the process would suffer a severe
dysfunction.
-156,400~ (a
few years after becoming a Time Lord)
Pandora begins serving on the High
Council and takes the title Majestrix.
-156,381
(200 years before her fall / Ancient Gallifrey
before
the Civil War / possibly 10 years before Pandora's execution)
The Time Lady
Pandorastrumnelliahanfloriana becomes the first female President
of Gallifrey. According to the book of the Old Time it is
permissible for a Lady
President to declare herself Imperiatrix. This Edict allows
the
Imperiatrix exclusive access to the
Matrix, the Great Key, and the biodata of the every Time Lord on
Gallifrey. She is not answerable to the High Council and has the
authority to disband the Chapters. Pandora took the title
Imperiatrix and begins overthrowing the traditions of
Rassilon, with a plan to take
Gallifrey to War.
-156,190~
(10 years before her fall / before TID)
Pandora begins secretly
collecting artefacts of power from across the cosmos. She also
sneaks off Gallifrey (no doubt violating the Protocols of Lininerity)
to
set up a vast secret Empire of the Silver Queen in Normal
Space. This Empire consisted of hundreds of systems. Pengallia is a Time Lord tyrant
causes lots of trouble. The Imperiatrix
begins to build
an army to restructure history. During this time she had her
alien bodyguard kill most of the High Council.
-156,181??
(thousands and thousands of years before Lungbarrow)
An event occurs
that is as important as Romana's talks with the Sisterhood of Karn.
-156,181
(10 years after becoming President / Date Index 1-5-3-2-7-5)
The surviving
members of the High Council learns that Pandora has violated the 1st
Law of Time. The High Council bribe Pandora's body gaurd
to betray her. The Civil War occurs destroyes the
ancient
capitol. Afterwards the bodyguard was trapped
on her home
planet with an 6.8 second timeloop. Pandora was executed via D-Mat
dispersal. Ledgends
claim that the soul of the Imperiatrix lives on as a ghost in the
Vaults. In reality she lives on in a partition in the Matrix
which has
an access point to the Matrix. The Imperiatrix manipulates the
genetic House of Hartshaven down through the ages
in an effort to recreate Pandora in the future. This sort
of genetic manipulation is an old trick from the dark days (see the
first Otherstide). The new capitol is build on the
ruins of the old one leaving the Vaults below.
-156,181??
(Generations before the Morbius Crisis)
The Capitol Guard is forced to
fight. This is the last time it will engage in combat for
generations.
??
(Aeons after the Matrix is
created / Date Index 310333
/ Almost certainly before the Master steals the Doomsday Files )
The Time Lords delegate maintance of the Matrix to
the
Elzevirs of the Moon of Leptonica (in the Daedalus
Constellation). The Elzevirs are experts at micro-technology and
are responsible for servicing and refurbishing the micro-circuity of
the Matrix. They often have access to the Key of Rassilon (which
allows full access to the Matrix).
??
(thousands of years ago)
Verne is loomed.
??
Verne regenerates into a handsome body.
??
(probably at least 2,000 years after looming)
Verne becomes a Councilor.
??
(eons ago, during "a Dark Time")
During the early
exploration of the universe, Time Lords would occasionally be forced
into runaway chain
regenerations in alien
environments. These Time Lords would turn into horrid
monsters. If they managed to return to Gallifrey, they would be
killed, walled up in there own TARDISes, or hidden away by their
cousins.
??
Verne votes wrong and is lynched. Verne
regenerates 4 times, finishing as a monster and is
killed by the Watch.
??
(A long time
before the Babels are invented)
The family of
the House of Catherion become extinct. Their loom and house are
maintained by a caretaker line.
??
(Over
10,000 years before House Paradox / before
Morbius or the Master, possibly after the Doctor left Gallifrey)
The House of Dvora (or the
House of Devouring Hounds) is the
first of the Newblood Houses. Several other Newblood houses are
founded at this time. The Cousins of the most refined Newblood
Houses, such as
Dvora, are loomed with two hearts, and
have
excellent control of their regenerations. Originally part of the Patrex chapter they later became
Prydonians.
-109,456
(Date Index 2-0-0-0-0-0)
The Time Lords discover the existance
of the Doomsday Weapon on the plane Exerius. The Time Lord's file on Exerius is
just as big as the
file on Sol III.
??
Torkal the Great becomes Lord
President of
Gallifrey. His
term in office is second only to Rassilon in legendary greatness.
-99,000
A particularly successful Lord President
resigns.
?
(after the
new bloods)
Research into altering the Regeneration is forbidden.
??
Reverse Tachyon-Chronons (RTC) are smuggled onto Gallifrey in the form
of books. They were banned by the Time Lords. Reverse Tachyon-Chronons can be used to move time
forwards
and backwards. They can be used to make objects and materials
that never age.
??
The Type 39 is created. It
is very similar to the Type 40. Salyavin will later steal a Type
39 from a scrap heap.
??
(thousands of years before Salyavin
is imprisoned)
The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey is
misfiled in the Academy Library.
??
The Decoupling Era occurs on
Gallifrey. Lord Wratfac begins lecturing at the Patrex College.
??
Patience
teaches the Doctor's Great Grandfather.
-10,000~ The Hermit is
loomed. He becomes a Time
Lord and a monk of the
Eremite order (just
like
I.M. Foreman)
-10,000~? (He is at the end of his 13th incarnation in The Time
of My Life)
The Doctor's
Grandfather is born. His name
might have been Borusa or Pandak III.
Patience lives in his House and tutors him. He will become the
Doctor's Grandfather. He is one of the many Gallifreyans who
worships Omega.
??
The Doctor's grandfather marries Varda.
??
Varda and the Doctor's Grandfather have a
son
who will be the Doctor's
father. (they
could have been decendants of the Time Scaphe Crew, and thus exempt
from the Pythia's curse). Publicly he was
from the House of Lungbarrow. The Doctor's father was a powerfully
built Gallifreyan with rugged features, white hair, clipped beard,
and dark eyes. Patience tutors the Doctor's Father. He will evenually
uses the alias Ulysses (as well as John Smith and
Danial Joyce) and enjoys exploring the
unknown.
-9,000??
(the same generation as Ulysses)
Lady Zurvana, the Time Lord Chancellor (probably Umbast) who is to
become The President,
the historian Hedin (son of Hedin) are loomed.
-9000~
At this point it is unthinkable that any species would attack
Gallifrey.
-9000~??
Azmael
is loomed. He is a
Prydonian.
Casmus
??
(Casmus is
near the end of his life
in Death Comes to Time)
Casmus is loomed.
-9000? (about
11 incarnations before the Doctor's birth)
Marnal is loomed. He will
probably be the Master's "father." If so then he is probably from
the House of Oakdown. He dreams of the day that all Time Lords
explore the Universe and help those who need help.
-9000~?? (he's
in his 10th
incarnation in Omega)
Whedol-Ertikus is loomed. He
will become a Time Lord Broadcaster and Professor
of History.
-9000?
(a generation befor TID)
The Gallifreyan who
will become the President in TID
(possibly Umbast) is Loomed. He believes that it
is impossible for the Time Lords to have too much power. By the
time of TID he has completly changed this view and become an obstructionist.
Salyavin
-9000?? (Salyavin is a boy when Type 40 were constructed)
Salyavin is
loomed. He uses an abacus when he is a Time Tot.
??
(before Savar's mission)
TARDISes
are designed to be male or female. They can telepathically
communicate with their operators.
-8982
(built in year 1995733 / Salyavin is a boy at this point)
305 Type 40 Time Travel Capsules (aka
Mark I TARDIS) are created
and registered, including The Doctor's. One of the major complaints about the Type 40
is
that its kitchen is a long way from the control room. The Type 40 quickly becomes known as a renegade
model. The
TARDISes of the Ship and
Lolita’s generation know about the War and the Enemy.
-8982
(Before the
“Academy” / when the Type 40 is
created / built in year 1995733 / Probably when all the other Type 40's
are created / the TARDIS is due
for its 3000
year checkup when doc is 749 / The
Doctor's
TARDIS is well over 5000 years
old)
At this point,
Time Lord engineers are a little more
innovative
in designing TARDISes. In a secret
experiment a group of Time
Lords (possibly the House of
Oakdown) take
those 13 units of Validium and
graft Timeship equations (spawned by the
Caldera
womb) onto them creating the 40 through 49
Forms. Lolita and the Ship were bound
to inside
their exo-chronoplasmic shells. The Ship is created in the style of a
Type 40 TARDIS, while Lolita is created as a Type 45. The Ship's
(the Doctor's TARDIS) Exo-Shell is made (in part) of Validium an
ancient sentient tech from the time of the Vampire Wars. Thus the Doctor's
TARDIS will be half timeship and half ancient sentient tech
from the time of the Vampire Wars. They were probably half
Validium on
their father's side.
Being only half TARDIS on
their
Mother
(probably the Matrix)’s side made them unique. They were
“destined”
for taking a name for them themselves and to evolving into a humanoid
form. The
newly registered Type 40 TARDIS known as the Ship instantly knew
that she was superior to the other TARDISes. Lolita made sure that Mother was
the only one who knew that
the
two of them weren’t like other TARDISes. The Type 40 Ship will become the property of Marnal of the House of Oakdown (and
later the Doctor).
The Type 45 Lolita will
become the property of Koschie of the House of Oakdown (aka the
Master). The Doctor's TARDIS developed
a reputation among the Time Lords and other TARDISes of being a
disobedient renegade. However she deliberately
chooses
to hide her more extream abbilites despite Mother’s plan for her.
The Doctor’s TARDIS has a
name but she keeps it a secret from everyone.
??
(a long time before the 4th
Doctor / a very long time after the last alien visited Gallifrey)
The Stolen TARDIS: The alien
Sillarg attempts to steal Lord Kairel's TARDIS but its had been
removed and Sillarg ended up traveling into Gallifrey's past. The
Gallifreyan Technician Plutar stopped Sillarg and the alien's memories
of Gallifrey were blocked. As a reward Plutar was allowed to
reapply to the Academy to become a Time Lord despite his
interventionist politics.
??
Ulysses becomes a Time Lord. Ulysses
is interested in wars and other projects.
He is
the greatest explorer of that age.
-8860?
(While Salyavin is young man)
Salyavin becomes known as a hotheaded,
brilliant Gallifreyan.
-8797~
(one Gallifreyan generation before Movers)
House Ixion predicts the coming Time War. The
predict how the
Time Lords will have to change to fight the War. They belive they
are
the first House to do this.
??
(Millions of years after the
First Diaspora)
The House Ixion finally dies out after
millions of years of decline.
??
(this journey
probably lasts
at least a few years / well over 10,000
years before the time of
the 5th Doctor)
Ulysses (the Doctor's Father) begins
the Odyssey. The
Odyssey
is a famous journey into Deep Time which visted every corner of the
Universe. The term Deep
Time has been used to refer to alternate universes that no longer
"exist" due to alterations to the time line.
??
The Doctor's Father begins working with Mr.
Saldaamir - a survivor of the ancient Time Wars.
??
The Time Lords fight a war with the descendants of the Great Vampires.
??
(before
the Doctor is born / after the
Master leaves Gallifrey)
Salyavin is wrongly accused of Mind Crimes.
Salyavin has the ability to project his mind into the minds of
others. Because of this he is tried
and found guilty of Mind Crimes. He is imprisoned
on Shada.
<>??
(probably less than 10,000 years before Mindbomb)
Humpcheck the Frail becomes the next President of Gallifrey. Hel
drops dead of food poisoning before finishing his acceptance speech and
is forced to regenerate.
??
Ulysses makes his first trip to Earth to research Unified Field
Theory. He visits Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein. He
believes that he has a mission on Earth to keep the world on the path
of peace and
progress. On Earth he becomes a member of the OSS.
??
(not long after the Type 40)
The Record of Rassilon is no longer placed
in TARDISes.
Iris's TARDIS disguised as the Number 22 to
Putney
Common
??
(possibly newer than the Type 40)
Iris Wildthyme's TARDIS is
created. It is the same size on the inside as the out. This
experimental TARDIS design is later abandoned.
??
(ruled for 900 years
/ must be after -9250 / during
the modern era)
Pandak III becomes
President of Gallifrey. He holds power for 900 years making him
one of the longest serving Presidents in the last 10,000 years.
??
(while Pandak III is President / Millennia before
The Spiral Scratch)
Coodrinator Rellox of the Arcalian Council for Temporal Research writes
a report on the Lampreys to aid in the Time Lord's attemts to keep the
Lampreys from interacting with reality. The Lampreys are sentient
beings that live in the Spiral at the axis of the Space Time Vortex and
feed off of chronon energy. Under certain conditions they can
escape into the rest of the universe. Pandak III has this report
suppressed.
?? (while
Pandak III is President)
Bottles of Orneilian
Wine of this vintage are well reguared by Gallifreyans (but depised by
lesser speices).
-6600~
(over 9 incarnations before Invasion of Time)
Gomer was loomed.
-6660~
Quences is loomed. He
might have been the brother of the Doctor's Great-Granduncle. Throughout Quences's life the House
of
Lungbarrow will produce only servants and petty clerks.
??
(less than 10,000 years before the Doctor is loomed)
Drall is loomed.
-6000??
(the archivist can remember him and he still has a few
incarnations left as of Lies)
Pandak VIII
is President.
??
A roaming group of CIA agents rescue the Catuvelauni from the
Romans. There King Constantine is
given technology that allows him to create a dreamland for his people
to live in.
??
Minatorius: A Time Lord
visiting the planet Minatorius is killed preventing the explosion of a
reactor.
-5251
All Type 40 TTCs
undergo a checkup.
-4000~??
The Hermit begins living in a cave on the peak of Mount Lung.
-4000~??
Gallifreyans become aware that acceleration affects temporal
manipulation.
-3323~??
(299, or 3462 or 4332 before Lungbarrow)
Jobiska of the House of Lungbarrow is Loomed.
-2855
(4000 years before TID)
Norval becomes a Time
Lord.
"How
far,
Doctor? How long have
you lived? Your puny mind is powerless against the strength of
Morbius. Back, back to your beginning . . ."
- Morbius
The
earliest known face worn by the Doctor (Christopher Barry)
-2400??
The Other
emerges from the looms as the Chris Barry Doctor.
NOTE:
The mystery of the Morbius Doctors is a tricky problem. They
appear to exist before the Doctor left Gallifrey, and yet the Doctor
and most (if not all Time Lords) reguard the Hartnell Doctor as the
Doctor's first body. It is know that the Doctor was married to
Patience for much of this time and that both he and his sons served on
the
High Council. It is known that the Doctor had not regenerated and
had no interested in romance when he turned 200 at the Academy.
In order to get married and have a son that served on the high Council
it would seem likely that the Doctor would be at least 330 when he was
in the Camfield body. However the Doctor's leaving Gallifrey
would have had to occur at this point. For now I'm
assuming that the Morbuis Doctor's were a reincarnation of the Other
that occured shortly before the birth of the Hartnell
Doctor. He
married Patience, raised a family and the Doctor
(and his son) served on the High Council. When the Council
discovered that the Doctor having naturally born
children the Watch attacked and the family was scattered.
After experiancing at
least 8 incarnations the Other again enters the loom distributor and
was woven into the biodata of the hatnell Doctor, who was conceived
with the help of the Loom of Lungbarrow. Thus the Hartnell (and
all
subsequent Doctors) are a mix of the Other/Morbius Doctors and the half
human half Gallifreyan conceived by Ulyssess and Penelope.
??
Patience is the Doctor's nurse
and tutor. She is a
Gallifreyan with dark hair, green eyes, and freckles on her
shoulders. There is a birth mark on her foot. Her DNA is of
the same ancestry, but different then the Doctors.
??
(she is 302 at the time)
Satthralope becomes Housekeeper of the House
of Lungbarrow.
??
(he was a
contemporary of the Doctor when the Doctor was at the Academy)
Savar is
loomed.
??
(at least a 50 years after his birth / 2 million years after
the Curse)
Patience teaches the
Doctor to dance, which causes a minor scandal with his
family. The Doctor
believes that his
tutor is one of the most attractive people he's ever seen.
-2251
All Type 40 TTCs undergo a checkup.
-2167~
(probably 3010 years befrore
Mawdryn Undead)
Mawdryn and seven other Kastron scientists steal a
Metamorphic Symbiosis
Regenerator from Gallifrey. They are caught by the elders of
their planet and exiled to a ship
in a warp ellipse, where they will regenerate perpetually. Are the Kastrons related to
Kasterborus? Or are they from Drornid?
??
The
Doctor is considered
to be a pioneer among Gallifreyans. By
the
time of
the Doctor, no one remembers this pioneer's name.
-1395 to -1928 (or
maybe at -72)
The old Keeper of the Matrix is loomed
??
Patience and
the Doctor fall in love. She is the Doctor's first
love.
??
(before Unearthly
Child / 2
million
years after Omega's death - Lance / before the Hartnell Doctor)
The Doctor and
Patience are married
in a secret ceremony.
Savar was present at the
wedding. The Doctor
believes that he was rubbish at his own wedding. Patience
acquires a pendent
with an identical stone. The blue
ring and
an identical blue pendent are the wedding
'rings'. The
Doctor acquires the ring
with
the blue stone and can interface with a TARDIS
powers systems. Mortimus will also
wear an
identical ring. These pieces of
jewlry have
amazing powers and appears to serve
as a back up Artron Energy source, that can be used to jumpstart the
TARDIS and
assist in regeneration. Once the Time
Lord has regenerated the ring might be useless.
The Doctor (George Gallacio)
-1900??
The Doctor
regenerates for the first time.
??
The
Doctor and Patience live in the House of Blyledge, one of the
senior houses in the Prydon Chapter
of Glorious Gallifrey. The
House of Blyledge is an
angular small dark building that is older than the hill it sits on.
It has a walled garden of silver trees in its center, and is within
visual sight of the Capitol.
??
(before his first regeneration)
The Doctor
paints Patience's portrait. When he finishs she informs him that
she is pregnant.
??
Much
to everyone (including Patience's) surprise Patience becomes
pregnant with with Doctor's child. Patience and the
Doctor's first child, a son, is born. This son will
eventually marry. The woman he marries probably was the
Other's daughter. Their
child (Susan) is the
Other's grandaughter. At the time of the son's birth
the Doctor, claims he is getting old.
??
(Several 1000 years before TID )
There is a prophecy that sometime during the next
10,000 years the Time Lords will face many enemies - one of which will
destroy Gallifrey. Matrix
predictions list possible identies for the Enemy. These include:
the Omega, the Sontarans, Tannis, Vore, Faction Paradox,
Catavolcus, Varnax, and Timewyrm. It is said that a Time Lord of this
generation will be central to these events. He will find the lost
Scrolls of Rassilon and lead Gallifrey from darkness. Only the President and the Supream
Council know of the this prophecy and they never talk of it to
others. A sub-committee
dealing with the
Gallifrey's future War with the
Enemy begins deliberation. These discussions will last at least
until TID and presumably beyond.
The new Doctor (Robert Banks Stewart)
-1400?? (after
the birth of his son)
The Doctor regenerates. His new body has
a beard.
??
(before the grandaughter's Birth /
2 million years after the Curse)
Patience and her husband (the Doctor)
have children,
13 sons and
daughters.
They wear blue clothes most of the time. None of them
become Housekeeper of Blyledge but they all live and grow up there.
None
of their children are named Miranda.
?? Patience's
father-in-law becomes a Cardinal on the Council. The Doctor might have been hiding
his regenerations by pretending to be succeding generations of people
from the House of Blyledge.
??
(sometime
after graduation)
The Doctor
spends many years as a councillor on the
High Council.
-1241~
(2000 years before Stones of Blood)
The Time Lords abandon teaching
interspacial
geometry and hyperspace theory.
-1099~
(2000 years before Trial of a Time Lord)
The
future Coucillor Xeroniam is loomed.
??
(before TID)
The Doctor's grandfather writes
many volumes on the subject of Omega.
The new Doctor (Phillip Hinchcliffe)
-900??
The Doctor regenerates. His new body has dark hair.
??
(before the birth of the grandaughter)
Patience's
husband sits on the Supreme Council and may
have been a Doctor.
??
Patience's first born
son becomes a Cardinal, a Time Lord of the First Rank.
??
(Before Divided Loyalties)
Rannex becomes Castellan.
-743
(-1711?? years before
Lunbarrow?)
Glospninymortheras is loomed.
??
(he is older then the Doctor)
Irving Braxiatel is
loomed
from the House of Lungbarrow. He is
the Doctor's brother. At some point Brax aquires the Newblood
ability to (with great concentration) control his appearance during
regeneration.
??
Irving Braxiatel of the
House of Lungbarrow graduates from the Academy with several
Firsts. He investigates several research projects and makes
several proposals.
??
(before the Morbius Crisis)
A
Prydonian Time Lord named Pandad becomes President. The Prydonian
Azmeal is his Chancellor.
The new Doctor (Douglas Camfield)
-400??
(centuries before TID / hundreds of centuries after the Curse /
the day
before the Granddchild is supposed to be born)
Patience's husband,
the Doctor, regenerates.
His new body has light colored curly hair
and a dark beard. The Doctor and
Patience's first
born son's wife is is going to give birth to the Doctor's grandchild
tomorrow. Susan's mother
thinks that the Doctor is a bad influence on Susan. One of Susan's parents was related to
Rassilon.
<>-400??
(during the Womb-Loom riots / right before
Susan in born / After the
Panoptican is
created
/ possibly centuries after the Odyssey)
There is a riot in the
Capitol. Fearing that they would lose control when the Doctor's
children started having children, the High Council and President uses the
Legacy of
Rassilon to issue a warrant for the arrest of Patience's
husband.
The Watch are
to search for the Spawn of the Pythia (naturally born children) and
investigate allegations that Patience's husband has been
consorting with aliens and sharing the secret of Regeneration with
naturally born children. The
Loom-Born attempt to kill the Womb-Born. Patience's
husband, the
Doctor, is in the
Capitol while it is partially burned
during a riot. Patience
doesn't know if her
husband has been arrested or not. The
Doctor tries
to stop the Watch's arrest of his family
but is to
late. The Watch tracks Patience down at the
House of
Blyledge. The
Watch kills the Housekeeper of Blyledge, captures
Patience, her children, and their associates and hauls them off. Patience's first
born son's
granddaughter is threatened with abortion.
NOTE: Lance
Parkin has stated that the Loom/Womb riots seen in Executive
Action
are different then the Loom/Womb Riots seen in at the time of Susan's
birth.
The
Other's and the Doctor's
granddaughter Susan
-400??
(the Odyssey was
finished 'recently' /
centuries
after
Patience marries / the day
after the Doctor regenerates / possibly
at
the moment of the Pythia's Curse - see note below / less than 16 years before Marco
Polo from Susans POV / more then 50 years before Here be
Monsters / 38 years before Dalek Invasion of Earth from Susans
POV /
in
the 49th
century)
The Hand of Omega brings the
Hartnell Doctor back in time to save Patience and her granddaughter.
The Hartnell Doctor (whom Patience doesn't recognize - except for his
ring) witnesses the birth of Susan. Susan has
very strong telepathic potential (more then the Doctor's) that will
develop in adolescence but will
require training to be perfected. Susan
appears to have innate sense of the passage of
time and never wears a watch. She probably has two hearts (though
a
few novels give her only one). Her lifespan is much longer then a
human's. Susan's
mother was killed. A
few minutes after
Susan's birth the person
with
the ring (the Hartnell Doctor)
finds
Patience in the Capitol and takes her
to safety.
Susan and her father ends up fleeing
into Gallifrey's
past, probably with
Patience.
NOTE: Susan was arrived in
Ancient Gallifrey shortly after
Rassilon made the Pythia's Curse a prosecutable law. Her
mother's ghost told her
this
telepathically but she misunderstood it to mean that she'd been born at
the time of the Pythia cursed the Gallifreyans.
Since the Hartnell Doctor failed
to take
Susan with him the Hand
takes him back into Gallifrey's past again so that he can take Susan
with him.
-400??
The
High Council wipes the Doctor's memory of the above events.
The Doctor beleives that Patience is dead
or permanently
lost the Doctor and he leaves
Gallifrey? Patience suspects that some of her children escaped
and hide for centuries (probably refering to her son and granddaughter)
Lance Parkin suspects
that the rest of the Doctor's family is killed by the Loom-Born.
-400??
(probably
after I.M.
Foreman
leaves Gallifrey /
the Doctor knew some but not all of the
members of
the Fraction / aeons before DCTT)
A group of four Time
Lords known as
the Fraction leave Gallifrey to use the Power of Creation for
the
good of the Universe.
This group probably included the
Doctor, Casmus, Valentine, Antenor (Tannis claims that
Casmus, the Saints, and the Doctor are not members of the Faction). Of the
four, Casmus is the oldest and most powerful of the group.

The offer is refused because of the arrogence of the Ventrosians.
-150~
(she's over 900 when
the Doc is probably 749 / older than the Doctor)
Iris Wildthyme is born
(could be a descedent of Patience or the
Time Scaphe
Crew) . Her mother abandons her for
an off-worlder. She is raised in a matriarchy with dozens of
older 'Aunts' in a House in the mountains of southern Gallifrey.
Iris's favorite Aunt was named Baba. She was not raised to be
part of Gallifreyan culture.

has had, but there have not been many). She ends up living in one
of the New Towns under the Capitol.
The new Doctor (Chris Baker)

renegade and attends Morbius' rallies. She
share's his vision though they
argue a lot. She
becomes Morbius' mistress and lover. Morbius
and Peinforte secretly have two children knows as the Children of
Contempt. Their son became known as Cardinal Grandier on
Gallifrey,
and Leofric DeSable elsewhere in the cosmos. His chosen title was
the
Chaplin of Spite. Their daughter was known as Madame Clacice
Beauvier.
Chatelain
Thessalia

(879 years before the War began / before Morbius becomes President?)
Patrexian Councilor Morbius secretly orders the
creation of the
Order of the
Weal (aka the Order
of the Good),
which becomes the Time Lords first counter intelligence
service. This ruthless group of
rationalists wasn’t allied with any particular House or Chapter.
Chatalaine Thessalia of the abandoned House of Ixion becomes its first
Chatelaine director if the Order, and the Order was based at the House
of Ixion. It is rumored that Morbius is romantically involved

becomes President /almost 900 years before
the 101-Project)
House Arpexia begins Catherion Imprimatur experiment
(probably at the
request of Morbius). They attempt to produce a sentient type of
Casts
called Babels. The Babels would be able to control the Casts
without
relying input from Gallifrey, making them an independent military
force. The Babels were produced using the disused Loom of the
House of
Catherion, wich was purchased from its Chapter. The Order of the
Weal
probably has a hand in their creation.
??
(Possibly older than the Doctor given that became a Junior Time Lord
first)
Sevansellostophossius

(before the Doctor is loomed)
At
least one of the 45 Cousins of the House of

(Shortly before the Doctor is born)
It becomes fashionable for
"independent" (ie Renegades) Time Lords to renounces their given name
and give themselves a new name.
?
The Doctor's father Ulysses meets a human named
Penelope Gate and marries her.
She is a slightly plump human
from Sol III (Earth) with gray eyes, long red hair and a cut-glass
voice. She comes from
the
Victorian Era and 'invented' a time machine when she was 27 years old.The
Doctor's mother might be British. She might have had a weakness for
Ethanol.
The Temple of the Fourth and the Oath of the
Fraction
"We serve
the many till the many are one. Till twilight falls and Death
comes to Time"
-The Oath of the Fraction
-1??
(possibly 5,000-10,000
years before Death Comes to Time)
The Fraction travels to Micen
Island in the Orion Nebula. Unfortunately
other
species competition for the Fraction's assistance leads to the destruction of the entire population of the planet. In response to this the
Fraction construct the Temple of the Fourth Dimension on Micen Island.
Inscribed inside this temple is the Oath of
the Fraction. They forswear the Power and continue
to serve the Universe as mere men. The Fraction
scattered throughout the
Universe to live.
Valentine
??
(after the Micen
incident)
Two of the Time Lords
responsible for
the Micen Island incident, Valentine
and
Antenor become known as the Saints because
they renounce all forms of violence. They settle on Sol III (Earth). Valentine's epitath
will be
"If there is blood on my sword, let it be my own." Casmus will resolve to fight evil
but not to
use the Power to end it.
??

after the begining of the Odyssey)
The Doctor's Father returns
from the Odyssey.
?
(shortly before the Doctor is
born)
The Doctor's dad gives himself the new name Ulysses
after an adventurer from his wife's planet.
?? (before the
attack on the Shoal)
By this point Marnal has already become known
mockingly as a "crusader."
??
(probably shortly before Marnal attacks
the Vore / before TID)
The Time Lady Larn leaves the future and travels
back into Gallifrey's relative past (from her point of view). This is a
violation of the Laws of Time. She does this as part of her
Project to help Gallifrey survive various dangers so that it falls at
the correct time. She also helps Ulysses study the Vore's Temporal Cicatrix Scar. The
High Council knows of Ulysses secrete researches but don't know about Larn.
-0.74
(probably arround 270 days
before the
Doctor's birth)
The Time Lord Ulysses
and Human woman Penelope Gate use the Loom of the House of
Lungbarrow to facilitate an interspecies pregnancy and conceive a
child. Possibly as a result of the
Micen Island incident the Chris Baker Doctor jumps looms and is woven into the biodata of Penelope
and Ulysses's child. This child will become the
Doctor. The Other/Doctor
loses all memory of
Patience and and his time as the Morbius Doctors. Ulysses will arrange
to have
the Doctor "loomed" into the House of
Lungbarrow. The
Doctor comes
from a family of explorers.
NOTE:
The 7th Doctor claims that he as been
born from a Womb twice. This probably referes to the the
birth of the Other and the birth of the Doctor (via Ulyssess and
Penelope).
