? The event occurred approximately in this interval.
?? A pretty wild guess as to when this event took place.
The Triumvirate
?? The beginning of "the Great Days of Rassilon." Various species, like the Urbankans, will remember Rassilon, though some will know him as Azaron, Razlon, and Ra.
?? (before being entombed)
Rassilon creates the new Gallifreyan
social structure in the form of an oligarchy.
The Constitution is written, and Rassilon lays down
its five principles.
However under Artical 17 of the Gallifreyan
Constitution any Time Lord can declare himself a cannidate during an election.
?? (during the Great days of Rassilon)
Rassilon
lays down 5 great principles.
-23.94
(the year Omega dies /
day 23)
Omega (with Rassilon's help) finishes creating both of the Hands of Omega. (As far as
the Doctor knows) These devices are the most powerful and sophisticated remote stellar
manipulators that will ever be created. They are designed to customise stars.
It can be considered alive and has the abbility to
fly under its own power and initiative.
-23.93
(the year Omega dies /
day 26)
The Temporal Scientist Vanderkerian and Omega discover the secret of time travel
(After
Vanderkerian's death
Rassilon takes credit for this discovery).
Rassilon
creates the Equation of Rassilon (which allows travel in a Time
Corridor).
-23.93
(the year Omega dies /
day 29)
Rassilon begins planning the details of the Qqaba
mission.
Omega begins to design the Eye of
Harmony. He relizes that the energy of the Eye must be releases as an
osmotic stream by shifting the Eye slightly into the
future.
-23.89
(the year Omega dies /
day 43)
The Architect Rassilon begins designing the Citadel and the rest of the Capitol.
The Citadel is designed to be an hourglass shaped fortress.
-23.86
(the year Omega dies /
before day 50)
Rassilon raise taxes, begin funding pure research,
and begins segregated schooling.
-23.77
(the year Omega dies /
day 84 / after the Curse)
Rassilon invents the Sash of Rassilon
which uses stasis halo technology. The person wearing it is capable of surviving in a black hole without being thrown into a
parallel universe of antimatter. It also allows the wearer to absorb energy from the Eye
of Harmony giving them unlimited regenerative powers. It will be worn by the Lord
President during ceremonial events and will be
regaured by some as
the holiest of the relics from Rassilon's time. It will
also adjust the wear's biodata to make it easier for them to access the Matrix.
-23.71
(the year Omega dies /
after the looms / before unlimited time travel / almost certainly
after the Vampires are released / day 107)
The Biosynthesist, Thremix, proposes the concept of rengeneration
and creates the Immortality Virus.
?? The ceremonial armor of Faction Paradox is made of the bones of Vampiric Time Lords. The Faction claims that these are the bones of Gallifreyans from an alternate universe where the Time Lords lost the Eternal Wars. Others claim that the contamination happened in this universe during the Eternal War and thus the bones are also derived from the same universe. Official Time Lord history claims that no Time Lord was ever infected with the V-Factor. The Faction Armor could be made of failed experiments in developing Regeneration. Alternately the Armor could be the bones of future Gallifreyans who finally succumbed to the V-Factor in the Immortality Virus.
-23.68
(before Susan leaves Gallifrey / day 117 of year of the year Omega dies)
The Legacy of Rassilon (aka the Immortality
Virus) is perfected by the Biosynthesist
Thremix
in secret.
Regeneration was created to extend the already
amazing Gallifreyan lifespan.
The Legacy of Rassilon creates
self-replicating biogenic molecules
that work ceaselessly to repair and
prune damaged and malformed cells.
If the body is subjected to great stress,
the permanently carried self-replicated
biogenic molecules
rebuild the body cell by cell causing a complete
Regeneration of the body
(and to a lesser degree) the mind. After 12
regenerations the biogenic molecules begin to decay naturally.
The regenerative capabilities of a Vampire and the
Immortality Virus are almost identical. Many historians suspect that Immortality Virus
might have been derived from the V-Factor.
Rassilon is quite obssessed in the possibility of
immortality and funds Thremix's expeirments. Rassilon keeps the discovery secret
for now but makes plans to give the Immortality Virus
only to Loom-Born (which Rassilon views as the elite of Gallifreyan
society). Once the Virus is ready, all of the Loom born will have 13 lives. A Metamorphic Symbiosis Regenerator can be used to allow
someone without the Immortality Virus to regenerate.
If someone tries to clone a Time Lord the clone will not have the
Immortality Virus due to there lack of a symbiotic nucleus.
-23.7? (before I.M. Foreman leaves Gallifrey / before Executive Action)
Rassilon secretly shares the
Immortality Virus (aka the Legacy of Rassilon) with a select group of Gallifreyans. Some of these Gallifreyans will later try to
assassinate the Special Executive.
Regeneration was still a relatively risky
procedure at this point. While regenerating a Gallifreyan's body might incorperate any
foriegn Biodata it came in contact with.
(Thus a Gallifreyan could regenerate and find himself to be half
human.)
This problem was corrected before the Doctor's time. Omega is giving
the Immortality Virus.
?? (before leaving Gallifey)
I.M. Foreman will acquire the Immortality Virus.
-23.68
(the year Omega dies /
day 118)
By this point Omega is probably well liked by the people of Gallifrey while Rassilon
is probably hated. Omega is probably planning a democratic revolt against
Rassilon.
-23.66
(the year Omega dies /
day 123)
Rassilon probably plots to kill Omega.
-23.64
(
After the Minyan incident / after Omega has
regenerated / after several other Gallifreyans have regenerated / before the Quaba
mission)
Rassilon, Omega, and the Other contemplate the newly create Hand of Omega
and the future of Gallifreyan society.
This remote stellar manipulator has the ability to
customise stars. It can be considered alive and has the abbility to fly under its own
power and initiative.
The interior of a Prototype TARDIS
-23.62
(the year Omega dies /
day 140 /
before the Anchoring of the Web)
Rassilon finishes designing the temporal flux control for the Power Mast that will
receive the power from Qqaba. It is mounted near the Panoptican. Techicians begin
developing the Chameleon Circuit. Technicians (including Omega) begin
designing the first (Vortex based)
Proto-Time Travel Capsule.
The Type 0 Proto-Time Travel Capsules are constructed.
These will be the first Time Travel Capsules which
will use the Vortex instead of Muon based
Interstital Motive Bridges.
They are powered by Tarranium.
The First Time Travel Capsules didn’t use
matter for their shells. They were almost pure forced-matter calculation and thus were composed of the equations of pure movement,
making them the essence of transport.
They are Dimensionaly Immanent (ie smaller on the
inside then the outside)
because they didn't use warp matrix
engineering.
It’s interior resembles the interior of the “Cushing
Film’s” TARDIS.
By decree of Rassilon this and all future TT Capsulses
will carry certain technology - including Banshee Circuits and the ability to track a
vampire based on a blood sample.
-23.48
(the year Omega dies /
day 187)
Possibly because of the rumor that Rassilon was a Vampire Jelen attempts a
coup to remove Rassilon from power. It fails.
-23.44
(the year Omega dies /
day 203)
The Fleet of StarBreakers and Sunskipper
scouts leave for Quaba. The flagship of the
fleet is the Starbreaker Aeon.
Omega's ships is the
Starbreaker Eurydice.
Lord Griffin and Jodlex travel on board the Aeon.
Only a handful of crew of these ships is over
10 years old, the rest are Newborn from the Looms.
-23.44
(after Omega leaves for Qqaba /
day 203)
Under Rassilon's command, General
Gimel leads the Watch to arrest or kill everone who could be a threat to him.
-23.44
(the year Omega dies
/ day 204)
Omega's fleet arrives at the
Population III
Q star named
Qqaba in what will be known as the Sector of
Forgotten Souls.
Qqaba is located 9.6 LY from
Gallifrey in
the constellation of Ao
.
As part of the future Time War the Black Sun agent
Fenris the Hellbringer (from 30,000 years in the future) arrives on the Aeon and sabotages
all the Starbreaker's stasis halos to prevent the Gallifreyans from ever becoming the
Lords of Time.
"The boundaries of Time and Space have been destroyed. No longer
are we mere Gallifreyans - from this instant on, we are the Lords of Time!"
-Rassilon
-23.43
(almost a decade after the Curse / 2 million years
before TID? / day 205 / before the Eye of
Harmony / after Omega served on Gallifrey's Council)
Omega's assistant Vandekirian
(probably operating on Rassilon's
instructions)
sabatoges the Eurydice's fusion engines
and is killed by Omega. According to the history books Omega cut off Vandekirian's hand and
put it in the Stellar Manipulator, dubbing it the Hand of Omega. In reality he simply used
the severed hand to activate the symbiotic key to launch the Hand of Omega.
The Hand of Omega is used to destroy a
star
named Qqaba
in a supernova which then collapes into a singularity.
The collapse kills the Solarians who live on the surface
of Qqaba.
While Rassilon controls the power receiving mast
the
Eurydice leads the other Starbreakers towards the
singularity.
The combination of
Fenris's
damage to the stasis halos and the
Vandekirian's sabotage causes part of the Eurydice to break up and
Omega to be sucked through what will become a black hole and into the
universe of antimatter.
The ship becomes trapped between 2 universes and
appears in the middle of a field of temporal distortion every 100 years.
Rassilon repairs the stasis halos on the other
Starbreakers in time to prevent their destruction.
By this point Rassilon has the (possibly magical)
power to emit ElectroDirection beams from his own body. Fenris is hurled into the
Vortex. Rassilon recovers the Time Warrior
Fenris'
Directional Control Time Belt
which he uses to
discoveres the First Secret of Chronoambulatory Egress
and master directional control of time travel.
This discover will lead to the an understanding of the glorious secrets
of Time.
The survivors of the mission are bombarded with chronons from the
destruction of Quaba.
This Time Energy anointing mutates their DNA
creating a new helix that acts as
a "fast line" which extends into the fourth dimension and
maps the Time Lord into the Vortex.
Once linked
to the heart of space time they have access to the Power of Creation and they are
capable of changing their time state by thinking the right Block-Transfer Time
Equation
allowing them to interact with the deep-level
process of the Fourth Dimension. This makes them
the first Lords of Time
and one
of the very few High Evolutionary species. In the future legands will
claim that the first Time Lords were true immortals.
Mother (probably the Matrix) claims to have back
engineered the Time Lord species into existance so that she would have her own point of
creation. Rassilon uses his new powers to pass a
new Law of Physics which seals the naked singularity of Qqaba behind an event horiozon.
Thus the Time Lords invent the first Black
Hole.
The
detonation creates the
Veil Nebula.
He stops irrationality from escaping and repealing
the laws of physics. This detonation provides Time
Lords with the initial power source for their experiments into Time Travel. It is equivalent to the power radiated by a
thousand suns.
-23.43
While Omega and
his crew are presumed dead Omega actually survives by shear force of will (and a side effect of Rassilon creating new physical
laws). Trapped in a universe of anti-matter, he discoveres that using the power
of the black hole's Singurity he can create what ever he wants using a process called
Psychosynthesis. The lonlyness and feelings of
betrayal Omega feels drive him mad.
-23.43
(when Omega dies)
Many reguard the death of Omega as the point at which the new goverment starts to go
bad.
-23.43
(the year Omega dies / day 206)
Patience sees the Starbreakers return
from Quaba.
Patience will go on to live in the House of Lungbarrow
for countless generations.
-23.43
(after they have a Power Source)
The Type 0 TT Capsules
are now operational. They recieve their power from (what will become) the Prime Eye of Harmony (or the Time Sun as it was known at the time).
This Artron Energy is broadcast though the Vortex to the Capsules.
The Space/Time range limit for these broadcasts define the Space-Time Parameters of TARDIS operation. By modern times
the forward Time Parameter of the is about 3,510,000,000 IR
(10,000,000 AD).
This defined the outer limit of time travel.
-23.6~
(right after Omega's death)
Rassilon
constructs the Omega Memorial on top of the Citadel (tallest tower in the Capitol). Qqaba is
renamed Omega's Black Star.
Vandekirian is vilified by the people of Gallifrey.
Rassilon takes credit for Vandekirian's discovery of time travel.
?? The song Rassilon's Lament is written. It will
eventually be used in conjuction with the Harp of Rassilon to open a hidden passage to
the Time Scoop.
?? A Fable about
Paylix the Annoyingly Curious will become popular.
However nobody knows that Paylix was infact Omega. In the story Paylix wanted to know
everything about everything. When he does learn everything about everything the whole
universe stops and (in order to restart it) Paylix was exiled to another universe.
-13 (10 years before The 4-D War)
The
Time Lady Rema-Du
(daugheter of
Lord Griffin and Jodlex
) Begins training to recover Fenris from the Vortex's
Zone of No Return. The High Concil wishes to interogate him about the future Time War.
All they know is that becuase of
the Time Wars, an unnamed species will attack Gallifrey (probably the Fenris incident) in retaliation
for the things the Time Lords will do to them before the Time Lords have even heard of them
in the first place.
-3 (20 years after Quaba detonates)
??
(before the Eye was brought to Gallifrey)
Rassilon
created an
ebonite rod known as t
he Rod of Rassilon (sometimes
translated as the Great Key). It allows a Time Lord to open the Eye of Harmony
or access its power mast in the
Panoptican. It will be stored in the museum and only carried by the President during
ceremonial occations.
The harnassing of the Eye of Harmony
"And Rassilon travelled into the black void with
a great fleet. Within the void, no light would shine, and nothing of that outer nature
continue in being except that which existed within the Sash of Rassilon. Now Rassilon
found the Eye of Harmony, which balances all things that they may neither flux, nor
wither, nor change their state in any measure. And he caused the Eye to be brought to
the world of Gallifrey, wherein he sealed this beneficence with the Great Key. Then the
people rejoiced..."
- The Book of the Old Time
-0.22 (23 years after the death of Omega
/
3,500,000,000~ BC / probably
after the Qqaba mission
)
Rassilon travels to Omega's black hole (aka
Qqaba) in the Sector of Forgotten Souls.
He uses Amaranths and the Sash to enter Omega's Black Star. He then uses a dimensional rift to
removes the black hole's nucleus and brings it to a micro-universe located under the Capitol's
Panoptican
(assembly hall)
.
Once there it is named the Time-Sun. The
Dimensional Rift remains in the Sector of Forgotten Souls in the center
of massive amounts of dimensional instabilities. It still intermittently connects that
region of space with the event horizon of the black hole. Thus the black hole can still be
accessed every hundred years from this point.
The Space Time Vortex
0.00
(The day that Rassilon anchors the Time Lords to
the Vortex)
The Yssgaroth make their first attack on Gallifrey, destroy some of the
machinery used to create the Eye of Harmony, leaving an impossibly massive empty space
sitting under the Panoptican, with only the Eye of Harmony itself at the center of the
void. This void becomes known as the Caldera.
?? (a long time before the Spiral Scratch)
The Time Lords build the
Spiral Chamber to serve as a porthole to the Spiral at the nexus of the Space-Time Vortex.
?? Rassilon meets the Guardians.
He is informed that even as the
Time Lords have authority over the Spiral Politic so
to do the Guardians have authority over the Time Lords.
Rassilon is banished because he questioned to deeply and because of the
arrogance of the Time Lords. Rassilon will keep the
knowledge of the Gaurdians' supervision of the Time Lords a secret that will be passed
down to each President upon his ratification.
1 (1 year after the Eye of Harmony
/
1 LD
day 10)
Rassilon
and Jelen
create the Transduction Barriers
and the Quantum Force field. Transduction Barriers are an 10
dimensonal defense field that
separates Gallifrey’s continuity and history from the rest of the
universe
by locating it in a Micro-Universe outside of Time.
Thus when you are on Gallifrey you are "outside" of the Universe and in Inner
Time.
They block atomic sized infiltrations, all weapons fire, and kamikaze
runs
but can’t stop spaceships from landing.
The Lord President’s Rassilon Imprimatur
and Presidential Code allow him to pass through the transduction barrier at will.
When a Timeship passes through the Transduction Barriers the effect is
visible from Gallifrey’s surface.
The Quantum Force-Field serves as Gallifrey's Secondary
Defense Barrier.
It protects against more conventional threats and
stops ships from landing.
Anything that touches a transduction barrier will be
destroyed.
It is impossible to completely disable without
vaporizing Gallifrey.
??
(years after the Eye of Harmony is created / before the first
Otherstide)
The Time Lord known as the Other uses Block Transfer Mathematics to discover
transdimensional engineering (aka Warp Matrix Engineering). This is a
key discovery and the Time Lords abandon Tachyonics for Warp Matrix (transdimensional)
Engineering.
?? (after Warp Matrix Engineering)
Rassilon
installs numerous dimensionally transcendental chambers in his Foundry.
?? (after the Time Lords aquire Warp Matrx Engineering)
The Other builds an excellent Zero Room under the
Junior Senate Block.
?? (after the banishing of Cacophany)
The only magic-related power to survive is psionics because it operates
on vaugly scientific lines. This power forms into a network of Ley Lines that cross the
cosmos. In order to maintian rationality over the people of the Universe, the Time Lords
insert massive receivers into the Ley Lines to act as a distant early warning system.
3 (3 years after the Eye of Harmony / 3 LD)
? Rassilon gains the titles Patrice of the Vortex and Ravager of the
Void.
?? (before Executive Action)
Rassilon bans weapons that are capable of
killing Time Lords (except for
Stasers which can by used by members of the
Watch).
?
(he does this hundreds of times before the First Otherstide)
The Other warns Rassilon that if he sanctions the use of violence against the people
of Gallifrey he will leave. He will make this warning hundreds of times before the first
Otherstide.
?? The Other creates the Interventionists including the Celestial Intervention Agency (CIA) from Rassilon's personal guards. (The Matrix might have also had a hand in their creation). The CIA was originally formed to deal with minor issues that the Time Lords viewed as being beneath them, but they would eventualy grew to be a very powerful organization. The CIA agents of the Doctor’s time believe that the current CIA is exactly what the Other would have wante d.
7 (10 years after the The 4-D War)
?? Rassilon use Warp Matrix Engineering to design the
Protyon Unit for the first Time Travel Capsule.
8~?
(2,000,000 years before Ancestor Cell / a few centuries after the Eye of Harmony)
The Scientific Elders design and build the Type 1 Time Travel Capsule in a Solar
Workshop using tools such as spanners.
The process used to create a TARDIS is one of the
greatest secrets of the Time Lords. Susan's Grandfather has never actually piloted
a TARDIS though he was one of the Pioneers who helped create them.
These TT Capsules allow symbioticaly bonded Time
Lords to access and use the Power of Creation.
All TT Capsules recieve their power from
the Prime Eye of Harmony.
The first TARDISes are small boxes that can only hold 3-4 Time Lords.
Mother (probably the
Matrix) claims to have created the Time Lords just so that all TARDISes could have
a defined moment of creation. Otherwise all the TARDISes would exist without ever having an
origin.
8~?
(after Patience's TTC is built
but before the end of the Vampire Wars)
Susan names the new Time Travel Capsules TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In
Space).
The word Tardis means Timeship in Gallifreyan.
?? (when Gallifrey is young, probably after the
Time Lords exist, but before the Laws of Time)
The people of the Gallifrey use time travel against each other in petty feuds. A mad
prophet martyr accidently saw the end of the Universe. He saw the Timewyrm destroying
Rassilon, the Blue Shift of the Universe, and the escape of Fenric.
?? (shortly before the first Otherstide / she never lives in any one place for very long)
Susan ends up living in a two story shuttered house wedged between a seedy tavern and
a memory broker's shop.
She was probably living in the Other's
estate right outside the Capitol
before this point.
?? (Probably after the Web of Time is
created)
By this point Validium embodies
all the knowledge and all the power of the Time
Lords.
9 ?
(at the time of the first Otherstide)
By this point Susan has the Legacy of Rassilon, and the Symbiotic Nuclei
(she later operates the Master's TARDIS),
and detailed understanding of the physics of Time Travel Capsules.
Susan's Grandfather has never actually piloted a TARDIS though he had a
hand in its creation.
9 (right before Executive Action)
By this
point the Loom Born outnumber the Womb Born.
?? (during the time of very early TARDISes / probably
before the APC Net was created)
The Time Lords of this time are a much more paranoid
race then they will become (probably because of the Time Race). The early TARDISes had
several additional defence mechanisms. Among them was a temporal stasis field that traps
unauthorized personal who enter the capsule.
?? (possibly not to long after the Curse given
that Bocca has a two part name and those went out out style)
Anton Bocca writes The Ripple Effect. The
Bocca scale of time distortion will be named after him.
? (shortly after the Eye of Harmony is created and at the time of the
first TARDIS or TTC)
Rassilon installs interfaces in all Time Travel Capsules that prevent them from
traveling into Gallifrey's Future.
In addition to this, Gallifrey's past is protected by powerful Temporal
Baffels,
Backtime Field Buffers,
and Temporal Locks.
?? (millions of years ago / shortly after the Eye of Harmony is created / probably before the end of the Eternal Wars complete
the Web of Time /
right after Minyos was destroyed)
The Time Lords (probably
Mason
and Aaron Blinovitch
) relize that if any Lords of Time was to leave the
Micro-Universe that holds Gallifrey (or the micro-universe within a TARDIS) then that Time
Lord's connection with the Web of Time would collapse the quantum uncertainty of
History.
It would crystalize the Web of Time around the Time Lord, preventing
events from occuring in any other way. Even observing the night sky directly would instantly
freeze the histories of those stars back to the point at which the light first left them.
Because any direct observation (a opposed to the indirect ones made on Gallifrey or within a
TARDIS) would condem countless sentients to existance or non-existance Rassilon created
the first of the Laws of Time -
No Time Lord shall interfere with history as he knows it.
Rassilon also ruled that no Time Lord shall travel into Gallifrey's
past.
Rassilon went on to create the other
Laws of Time,
based on Mason
and Aaron Blinovitch's work.
No Time Lord shall interact with his own future - might be the
Seventh.
Use of the D-Mat gun is forbidden by the Laws
of Time.
9??
(Around when the Eye of Harmony was created / after
TTCs are invented /
several thousands of years before the Doctor
/ early Gallifrey)
The law is changed so that Gallifreyan
Religious Class no longer have access to Time Travel, Time Lord genetic benefits, or to the
Council. The High Council dissolves the Monasteries. There was no violence involved in these
reforms, but the Monks, Priests, and Wardens of the Church lost their positions of power and
became little more than figure heads. The position of the Supreme Pontiff of Time (the Time
Pope) and other lower ranking Cardinals remained but they had no real powers. A member of
the religious order, I.M. Forman, begins wandering outer Gallifrey. The use of the word "Time" by the religous
orders probably refers to the Eternal named Time.
?? (probably before the Doctrine of Non-Intervention)
The Time Lords pledge to uphold the Laws of Time and prevent alien agression that
threatens and indigenous population.
9?? The future I.M. Foreman's "Complex Event" explodes on early Gallifrey forcing all twelve incarnations of I.M. Foreman to regenerate. I.M. Foreman finds his other twelve incarnations in the wilderness of outer Gallifrey.
9?
(shortly before fleeing Gallifrey)
Susan tells her grandfather
stories about his future - claiming he will become a great hero and grow younger as time
passes. These predictions might have been why the gaurds try to arrest the grandfather.
9.44??
(less then 54 years after the Curse)
General Gimel attempts to
overthrow Rassilon this coup fails.
9.44
(On the first Otherstide)
Rassilon attacks the rebels in the Pythia's temple.
9.44
(Susan is 6 / day 162 / Otherstide)
The Other grows tired of being all powerful and wanted to be a pawn in the middle of
the action.
The Other steals some of Omega's Validium
and
(because of the manipulation of the Black Guardian)
enters the Progenitive Chamber. It is assumed that died in the energy
of the open progenitive cascades, however if reality he merges with the genetic coding of
the Prime Distributors that feed all the Looms, creating the first Otherstide (aka Othersmass). Susan is unable to get to
Terserus and ends up living on the streets of the Capitol. She sleeps in the ruins of the
temple and has to sell her books (with metal covers) to survive.
9.5??
(after his coup fails)
General Gimel becomes the first Time Lord
to be executed by vaporization
.
9.5?
(After finding his other selves)
I.M. Foreman acquires the ability to create his Complex Event from other refugees
living in the wilderness. Most TARDISes are programmed to avoid Gallifrey’s past but
I.M. Foreman’s Complex Event wasn’t “raised” to be a TARDIS so it
capable of breaching the back time field buffers.
I.M. Foreman takes the name “I.M. Foreman,” which means
"I am for man." He is not a Time Lord. He also removes his eyes to sharpen his
telepathic senses. He takes his "Complex Event" and his future incarnations and
leaves Gallifrey.
Because of I.M. Forman's lack of interference the High Council never
takes action against him.
9.6?? The Watch have special rules about four people who they are supposed to kill. This list includes Omega (if he should ever return) and the Doctor (but only if he takes certain actions). These are the same four Elementals that survive the Time War..
?? Mystery of the New Time is a play depicting the events leading up to the first Otherstide. This play is performed in every House on Otherstide. Almost all referances to the Other are removed from the official history books.
10.44?
(exactly one year after the first Otherstide)
Rassilon institutes the Festival of freedom on the first Otherstide
?? (before "Genesis of the Daleks" from the Time Lord's POV /
thousands of years before "Dead Romance" / probably during the Games)
The
Time Lords make a deal with the Daleks. The Time Lords agreed to let the Daleks develop
primitive time travel. They also agreed not to use them in the Games. The Daleks agreed to
do (or not do) something important in return. The Time
Lords will eventually forget about there treaty with the Daleks -
though they will remember that Daleks and Cybermen
aren't allowed to play in the Games.
21? (before the creation of the
Matrix)
The Time Lords attempt to build a Wetworks Facility to store their
knowledge. This project is a failure.
22.2 (54.8 year after the curse)
Rassilon begins
construction on the Matrix
of Time (aka the Space-Time Matrix).
The Matrix's Secure Information Dump is located in the Labyrinth to
protect them from changes in history. This library is connected to every Gallifreyan
outpost.
There are rumors among the Time Lords that the Matrix always existed
and created the Gallifreyans just so that it would have a point of origin. There are also
some Gallifreyans who believe the Matrix controls the Time Lords. The Mother of all TARDISes
always existed and created the Gallifreyans just so it would have a point of origin. She
believes that she controls the Time Lords.
22.2
(among the oldest data in the Matrix)
The legend of the Timewyrm
is recorded in the Matrix.
?? The Matrix records have a few unexplained warnings about the Old
Ones.
? The Garvond (it has thousands of names all variations on gjara'
vont -"of darkest thought") is created and imprisoned in the Matrix. It
feeds on the fear and resentment of the Time Lords whose memories are imprisoned inside the
Matrix.
133 (after the Eye of Harmony / 156 years after the Curse)
The Time Lords create the Gravitron, a device powered by the Eye of Harmony, that
can warp time over an area of 90,000 light years. They also invent the Magnatron which is capable of moving entire star systems billions
of miles through space (and billions of years
through time).
?? (after the Matrix)
Rassilon captures a
supernova that exploded near the Kastorborus Sector. The Matrix predicted that a race
would evolve in the aftermath that could threaten the Time Lords. Rassilon encases the
nova in a stasis and stores it in his Foundry.
534~
Rassilon traveled to the end of time and discovered
that billions and billions of the Divergences existed.
They are lifeforms completely unlike humanoid life
and are amazingly powerful
.
The Matrix predict
s that the
Divergence
plan to restructure the matter of all matter in the
universe by
creating their own Web of Time that would have had
a Noosphere far larger than the Eye of Harmony.
The Divergence Web would have encircled
Rassilon’s web, restructuring the entire Spiral Politic, and
consume all life in 10,000,000 years.
534~
Believing that humanoid life is the only essential
form of life, Rassilon researched 278,000 planets and found sentient life on 69,000.
Using the Vortex Rassilon sent a self-eradicating set of biogeneic molecules, which were
capable of restructuring sentient species into humanoid physiology. The original species
would die out in 6000 spans (38,000 years).
This seals it off from the Web of Time. This might explain why actual cases of
natural evolution are so rare in the Universe.
The Divergences (who would never have evolved in
this new alternate universe) attempt to prevent Rassilon from carrying out his plan but
Rassilon used the Matrix to trap the Divergences in a pocket universe inside his
Foundry.
?? The Shalka spread through out the the universe,
secretly occupying or invading about 80% of the dead worlds in universe. They serve as a limiting force to the expansion of
various humanoid species, preventing them from forming galaxy spanning
empires.
The Time Lords might not have paid much
attention to what was living underground and
so the Shalka were (unintentionally) allowed to
evolve to fill that gap in Time Lord observation.
This might also explain why the Time Lords will
later send the Doctor to fight them.
?? The self-eradicating biogeneic molecules
ensure that billions of people never existed,
creating billions of alternate universe.
Scattered among those alternatives are
thousands of Doctors.
Most of these universes were consigned to
Neverland but some of these were trapped in pocket universe inside Rassilon's
Foundry.
These could include.... A universe where the Doctor visits on Oblivion and faces the Hoard A tiny alternative where Gallifrey is a diamond drifting free in space A universe where the Time Lords have terrible mental powers (The Death Comes To Time timeline or the Cold Fusion timeline?) A universe where the Time Lords were erased from history (The Cold Fusion Timeline??) A universe where the Nestenes destroyed Earth A universe where the Doctor removed his own heart |
??
Rassilon's TARDIS uses an exceptionally large
green crystal to focus the dynomorphic projector. This crystal is
called the Star of Rassilon. A TARDIS with this crystal could travel into Gallifrey's past
despite the Back Time Field Buffers. One of Rassilon's relatives was using the TARDIS when
it materialized inside solid rock on the planet Radirr. The TARDIS was destroyed and the
Star of Rassilon was presumed destroyed as well.
?? (very early in their history)
The Time Lords discover that when they spend time
on anewly formed planet they can unintentionally influance that planet's morphogenetic
feild. For this reason they try to avoid such worlds.
?? (after the Eye of Harmony / after the first Otherstide)
The High Council (led by Tussan) plan to take over Rassilon's time travel
experiments and try to force Rassilon to retire. Rassilon destroys the Sash of Rassilon
to prevent the High Council from accessing the Eye and then collapses from radiation
poisoning. As he dies Tussan's CAT (the
Other) tells him not to give up. Rassilon is then rejuvenated. This is caused
by his long exposure to the Eye of Harmony.
??
(after the first Otherstide)
Rassilon discovers the secret of Perpetual Bodily Regeneration - True
immortality that made him immune to the
longing for death most Gallifreyans experiance after 10,000 years.
?? (early Time Lords, Rassilon is alive)
The Matrix predicts
that the Time Lords will be destroyed by the Mad Mind of Bophermeral. In response,
Rassilon leads a Time Fleet into the future to fight in the last battle of the Millennium
War against the Mad Mind of Bophermeral. The Mad Mind is imprisoned in a Time Loop.
Surviving warriors meet in the Midnight Cathedral and agree to hide all knowledge of the
Millennium War from themselves and the rest of the Universe. They summoned the Council of
Guardians, who make the Universe forget the Mad Mind and the Millennium War.
?? Rassilon predicts the dangers of a Temporal
Embolism in the holistic fabric of Time. Such a misuse of time travel would cause the
entire Universe to collapse into a quasar within a few centuries.
? There are 6 sacred artifacts of Rassilon. They are rods, orbs, keys,
and sashes.
They include the Sash of Rassilon, the Rod of Rassilon (aka the Great
Key), the Great Key of Rassilon, Key of Rassilon, the Coronet of Rassilon (which allowed
the mind control of even a Time Lord), the Seal of Rassilon
.
Rassilon considers his greatest artifacts to be his
Rod, Sash, Coronet, Validium, D-Mat Gun. The Ring of Rassilon allows the wearer to
overide any TARDIS, while the Star of Rassilon was
a crystal in Rassilon's own TARDIS.
? Because of the Intuitive Revolution, the Witches of
Enderheid are burned at the stake.
? Rassilon expels the creature called the Mimic after he discovers it is
soaking up Gallifreyan secrets.
?? (after the name TARDIS is created)
By this point Bow Ships are
transported in War TARDISes. These TARDISes are the size of a comet and are filled with
corridors, rooms and Bow Ship bays. They have no actual offensive function and serve only to
deliver the Bow Ships to the correct time zone.
The Real World Interface these timeships tend to be
unstable. Unlike the Type 40, these TARDISes had functional self-destruct mechanisms.
?? Several Time Lords who had been infected with
the V-Factor might have fled Gallifrey and settled on the nexus world of Earth to become
the Mal’akh (founders of the terran vampires). If so, this would be how the
Yssgaroth reached Earth.
? While fighting the Eternal Wars the Time Lords visit the Sol system
and fill about a quarter of Saturn's moon, Mimas with Gallifreyan technology.
? (10,000,000 years before So Vile a Sin)
A War TARDIS transporting
Bow Ships is invaded by a Great Vampire. The crew is killed and the damaged TARDIS becomes
trapped in the Agamemnon System. It transmits a tight beam distress signal but because of
the damage the signal cant be targeted at the Time Lords base. This beam will activate any
N-Form that receives it. The massive TARDIS is eventually mistaken for a planet by Humans
and named Cassandra.
?? The Time Lords set up the Sanctuary on the planet Bukol.
? The Usurians classify Gallifrey as Grade 3 in their latest market survey.
?? (2,000,000 years before Romana uses it)
A Time Lord invokes the
Right of Challenge against a President. This could have resulted in the Time Lord becoming
the new President.
950?? (almost 1000 years after becoming
President / after the Laws of Time are written)
Rassilon retires from the position of
Lord President of Gallifrey.
The Prydonian Pandad becomes the 2nd President of Gallifrey. Rassilon retains the title of Cardinal and a seat on the
Inner Council. Even while retired his political power is such that he still effectively
controls Gallifrey.
950??
(After retiring)
Rassilon begins working on a new
project that will benifit Gallifrey's future. By this point Rassilon views Gallifreyan
Culture as being decayed.
950??
(Right after Rassilon retires)
The non-Time Lord Castallan
(probably Fordfarding) unofficialy takes over running the planet Gallifrey while the rest of
the High Council contemplated the cosmos.
By this point the High Council isn't really doing
anything but talking about the events of Methusis VI, or Delta Alta Four, and stroking their
cats (possibly CATS).
969~?
(probably not long before the Tepesh
incident)
Rassilon secretly indroduces the Immortality Virus (aka the Legacy of Rassilon) into
the Looms of the Prydonian and Patrexes Chapters.
969?
Rassilon connects the begining and end of the
Divergence Pocket Universe with a Moebius loop sealing it for the next 18,629,000
years.
?? (after the Tempesh incident /
the generation of Loom born after the first
Otherstide / before Executive
Action)
This is the first generation of loomborn that will have 13 lives.
All Gallifreyans
who were woven from the looms
after this point have the ability to
regenerate.
The
self-replicated biogenic
molecules
caused
the telepathic power of Entrelacement to dwindle. Gallifryeans no
longer broadcast telepathic signals involuntarily and the organ in the hypothalamus loses
its ability to observe the higher dimensions.
This
'Immortality Virus'
does benefit Patience and Susan. Before
the first Otherstide both Rassilon and the Other claim to each other that they cannot
regenerate and have limited lifespans.
?? (after the Tepesh incident)
Rassilon
begins exposing Gallifreyans to the power of
the Eye of Harmony to create new Time Lords.
The Symbiotic Nuclei is worked into the biodata of Time Lords. This is
used to make a Gallifreyan a Time Lord
and makes them one of the very few High Evolutionary species.
It maps the Gallifreyan into the Space-Time Vortex with Block-Transfer
Numbers. Through the Eye of Harmony they are linked to the heart of space-time and capable
of changing their time state by thinking the right Block-Tranfer equations.
About 100 Gallifreyans from each Chapter are anointed
with time energy from the Eye making them Time Lords.
By the time of the Doctor there will be about 1000 Time Lords at any given time. Technically speaking only Gallifreyans who have a
Time Travel Capsule hold the title of Time Lord.
980~? The N-Forms helped end the Vampire War.
980~?
(right after the end of the last of the Vampire Wars)
Sickened by the loss of life in the Vampire War the Gallifreyans
renounce violence forever. The Record of Rassilon is created and installed on all TT
Capsules.
It says (in part) that the Vampires are "the enemy
of our people, and of all living things." It charges all Time Lords with the Directive
of Rassilon: the task of destroying any Great Vampire or its decendents - even at the cost of his own life.
980~?
Realizing that the Eternal Wars were caused by reckless research into
Time Travel, the Time Lords decide that to much advancement is dangerous. Limits are placed
on the speed of Gallifreyan technological growth.
980??
(right after the Vampire Wars?)
Article 7 of Gallifreyan Law (which forbids genocide) is written.
980~?
(After the Eternal Wars)
A plague devastates Gallifrey and kills
everyone who knows that Rassilon's mistake brought the Yssgaroth and the Vampires to this
Universe.
The Caldera is the only officially
remaining proof of the Eternal Wars. The Matrix
contians no records about the Eternal Wars.
??
(while Rassilon is still alive)
Rassilon's Red Wine is bottled.
Several of these bottles will still be around and enjoyed in the modern era.
1000?
(a few short generations after Time Lord contact)
The Minyans now have atomic power.
1003
(1003 years after the Eye of Harmony / after
Susan is old enough to watch the games / after
TARDISes are created
/ before Rassilon retires / probably after
the Tempesh incident)
The operation of the Death Zone causes interference with power from the Eye of
Harmony. Rassilon's CAT and Cardinal Pandad convince
Rassilon to end the Games after some of the players
nearly capture the Dark Tower.
This is known as Rassilon's Reformation.
Rassilon seals the Death Zone and bans the use of the Time Scoop. The location of the Time
Scoop is recorded in the Black Scrolls of Rassilon.
1003
(right after sealing the Death Zone)
Rassilon
declares that anyone who searches for immortality would pay the price for their
foolishness.
The Scrolls of Rassilon

?? (After Rassilon ends the Games / probably shortly
before the Minyans revolt / Probably after the Doctor is loomed / 13,000,000,000
years ago)
The Time Lords discover the Fendahl on Sol V. The Fendahl is a gestalt
creature made up of 12 Fendahleen. It feeds of the wavelenghts of life - all life.
Officially a Patrexies Councillor had the
CIA reverse timeloops Sol 5 to prevent the Fendahl from destroying the universe, thus
erasing it from Time Lord History.
Instead of just time looping the Fifth Planet the CIA Tribunal
accelerates time on the planet. This is done to create the Fendahl Predator. The Predator is
a Memeovore. It absorbs the energy implicit in the observation of Heisenburg phenomenon. In
other words it feeds on meaning. The CIA plan to use it as a strategic weapon.
But before they can, the Fendahl escapes from the fifth planet. It
settles on Earth and manipulates mankind’s evolution. Legends of the Fendahl will be
passed down through out Gallifreyan history.
1142 (During the Dark Times / after the
Time Lords come into being / while the Earth was still forming - Billions of years before
the 20th century / 1165 years after the Qqaba
mission)
The Hoothi live near near the Gallifrey system. They are master strategists
who side against the Time Lords when they kill 2/3 of Tranmetgura's population. They try to
conquer Gallifrey by possessing a Time Lord Ambassador. The Time Lord's counter attack
devastates the Hoothi but they escape before the Time Lords time loop their homeworld.
1195
(a few short years before the Minyans destroy their planet /
this might be 100,000 years before the time of the Doctor / After
TARDISes are invented / before the Hand of Omega is
completed)
The Minyans revolt, and kill most of the Gallifreyans on the planet Minyos.
?? The Time Lords accidentally drive the entire civilization of
Plastrodus 14 insane.
?? The people of Klist use the technology given to them by their gods (the Time Lords) to reverse their own evolution.
1200 (1200 years after the Eye of
Harmony)
The Time Lords in the distant future detonate a Timonic Fusion Device
inside the Vortex its effects breached the temporary transduction
barriers designed to contain it. The timonic wave
spread beyond control and destroys Minyos aging 100,000,000 people to
death in seconds before it finaly collapses.
The destruction is blamed on the Minyans and the
Time Lords make it appear that t
he
Minyans
destroy their entire planet in an civil war killing 100,000,000
people.
?? (Early in their history)
The Gallifreyans come to
believe that if they kill all the evil people in the universe then the good people who remain
will become evil. Light can not exist without darkness. If evil were destroyed then good would
vanish as well.
1377
(the Time of Rassilon / after Shada is built? / 1400 years after the Qqaba Mission)
The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey is written by Rassilon to refine the powers and secret
responsibilites of the President. This book is imbuned with terrific powers and
time travels backwards over it. The book is written in code. It is made of pure non-atomic
matter (ie its not made of atoms but instead perfectly flat planes). By turning all of its
pages inside a Time Travel Capsule, the capsule can be guided to Shada.
1403 (1403 after the Eye of Harmony)
1573
(
1573 after the Eye of Harmony / aeons before The Invasion of Time)
The Time Lords,
led by Pandak,
rebel against they Rassilon's cruelty and tyranny. Using the true history of Gallifrey written in the
Ancient and Worshipful Law they uncover his crimes and find him guilty of Artical 7
(Genocide). He is
chained by the Chancellery guards and
entombed in the Dark Tower in the Forbidden Zone. The Dark Tower is
also known as the Tower of Rassilon. Unknow to the Time Lords, Rassilon is not dead but he
remains forever in eternal sleep.
The Dark Tower is connected to a secluded part APC
Network called a sub-matrix
and
R
assilon’s mind lives in this part of the APC. Nobody knows how
extensive Rassilon's powers were but it is know that he took the secret of many of them
with him to the tomb. Even in the modern era many of these secrets are still lost as
have uses of many of his artefacts.
Rassilon can
put a Time Lord’s mind into temporal orbit and use this time to
communicate with him, but he rarely does this. By this
point Rassilon has set his immortality trap. Any Time Lord who reads the Black Scrolls of
Rassilon will be lead to play the Game of Rassilon with the reward being true immortality.
But in reality, after fighting their way through the Death Zone and they will be trapped
in stone with Rassilon forever. Inside his tomb he leaves one warning of this trap. An
oblisk that states (in Old High Gallifreyan) "To lose is to win, and he who wins
shall lose."
1575?
(a few years after Rassilon is
entombed)
The Scrolls of Rassilon are discovered and sealed by Pandak.
?? Pandak's Staff will later be considered a ancient
artefact.
?? (after being entombed)
Rassilon and two other deceased Time
Lords named Morvane and Bedevere become the Matrix Lords. The begin secretly controlling the
CIA from within the Matrix.
?? There are no records or even mention of the
Eternal Wars in the Matrix.
1627 (1627 years after the Eye of Harmony)
The death penalty is officially abandoned for all but the highest of crimes.
Warrents of Termination can only be issued for
high treason and assination of a President and major violations
of the First Law of Time.
1653
(1653 years after the Eye of Harmony / after Rassilon retires)
The current Chancellor acquires the Great Key and hides it from the Presidency. From
this point on it will be secretly entrusted only to the Chancellor of the High Council. This
is done to ensure that no President can wield absolute power. Rassilon was the last
President to hold it.
1873
(300 years after Rassilon's death)
Rassilon's Rampart is
built near Mount Lung to keep the Shobogans out.
?? Because the Rassilon Imprimiture biologically links a Time Lord to the Web of Time, it makes him the foundation of the first four dimensions an integral part of Time Lord biology and culture. Indeed they are so intertwined with the universe that they are a part of the Laws of Time and Space. Thus the Time Lords see it as their primary mission to serve as guardians for the Web of Time (because the Web is part of their flesh and blood ) and protectors of the Vortex. They consider themselves the keepers of the peace in the Fifth Dimension. The CIA begins monitoring the Universe for improper use of time travel and putting a stop to it. When necessary they correct major changes in history.
9000?? (probably before the audio Omega)
The Time Lords shut down
Holiday Opportunity Promotions for operating illegal
timeshares.

a generation after Rassilon /
when the Time Lords are "young")
The first of the Time Wars "start"
at this point as a skirmish between the Eternals and
the Halldons.
The Halldon's might be the Constructor's of
Destiny. The Time Lords relize that their are many races that could become
dangerous to them - including the Halldrons.
So the Time Lords decide to interven and help end
the war by insuring the elimination of this potential threat.
This is done because they believe there can be only one supreme power in
the Multiverse.
? (3,502,000,000 BC / Before "Heart of
TARDIS")
The Doctor witnesses the horrors of the Time Wars.
30,000 (30,000 years after the Qqaba mission)
The organization known as
Black Sun is one of the enemies of the Time Lords

Fenris the Hellbringer is hired by Black Sun. He
travels back in time to try to prevent Time Lords from successfully detonating Qqaba. He
fails.
?? (Rigel was involved in the Time Wars)
Rigel, Gosolus and 12
other worlds attack Gallifrey and are defeated.

The Time Lords eliminate all Huon Particles (except some used by TARDISes) in the
Universe by
unravelled their atomic structure. When inert Huon Particles are safe but if given a chance
to cataylise in a sentient being they become
deadly.
(Its possible that Huon Particles generate
Fluon Radiation).
?? The Time Lords eliminate all sources of Fluon Radiation (except for the blue saphires of Metebelis III) .
? The brutal slaughter of the Omnicrave Uprising occurs.
41,000?
(3, 501,986,893 BC /
wars lasted 30,000 years)
The Time Wars end due to intervention
from the higher powers known as the Time Lords.
The blue skinned Mr. Saldaamir is one of the only
survivors of the Time Wars. Officially the Time Lords were forced to step in as
keeper's of the peace. History records that they tried to bring the Time Wars to an end
with a minimum of causalties.
In reality the Time Lords want to eliminate any potential threats, so
they destroyed any race that could become dangerous to them.
By the end of the two wars
whole orders of species are erased from history.
This is done because they believe there can be only one supreme power in
the Multiverse.
After the Wars pattern-recognition systems are encoded into the genetic
memories of the Time Lords' unborn young and
multidimensional killing responses are hidden in their biodata. This
will allow them to fight and kill any survivor from the Time Wars. Amaranths are used to
repair parts of space-time that were damaged in the war.
41,000?
The Tomb of the Uncertain Solidier honors a
Gallifreyan from an alternate universe who died during the Time Wars.
?? (Over the next several 1000 years)
The Time Wars become the
Time Lords’ greatest shame. Eventually they deny that the wars ever occured and erase
almost all records of them from their history books. What remains supports the idea that
the Time Lords tried to bring the Time
Wars to an end with a minimum of causalties.

as they ever progress in this field.
?? (10,000,000 years before So Vile a Sin /
after the Minyos crisis / millenia after the Eye of
Harmony is created)
The loss of their telepathic abilities and their failure with the Minyans lead to a
massive sense of guilt, helplessness and fatalism. They felt that they had lost their Golden
Age and a revival was necessary. The Gallifreyans begin to view Rassilon and Omega as near
mythical figures. They believe that only strict adherence to the customs and traditions
established by Rassilon can stop their society’s decay.
Many artifacts, created after Rassilon's death, are
given his name. Each generation of Time Lords devise increasingly complicated
traditions and rites to prevent the Gallifreyan people from realizing how boring life on
Gallifrey is. The Gallifreyans no longer dare to examine their own future.
?? The Time Lords discover Quantum Mnemonics which is far
superior to Block Transfer Computation. They are capable of altering the nature of reality and
probability, allowing one to reshape an the history of an entire planet. Despite this,
TARDISes continue to be constructed using Block Transfer Computation.
?? The Time Lords make some minor attempts to breach the Higher
Dimensions but fail. The Dimensional Ethics Committee banned this research.
?? For then next 10,000,000 years there will be no new breakthroughs in Time Lord technology - only refinements of exisiting tech.
1,000,000
(1,000,000 years before Lungbarrow

The Time Lords become locked into a state of perpetual cultural stasis.
Progress is considered “passe” and high culture is considered
incomprehensible.

as vulgar and primitive by the Time Lords.
