?
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.
The Hand of 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.
-13.83 (9.6 years after Omega's death / some time before the first Otherstide)
-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)
?? (almost certainly after the Qqaba Mission)
??
(before the
Eye was brought to Gallifrey)
Rassilon created
an ebonite rod known as
the 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
The Eye of Harmony's Power Mast
-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.
?? (after the Time Lords come into being?)
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.
0-5? (takes a few years / after the Eye is anchored)
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 wanted.
?
(probably before Black Sun Rising)
The Cult of the
Black Sun is created by the Remote (which was created by the Faction
Paradox from Gallifrey's relative future).
??
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
predicts
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 a newly 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 High Council becomes bureaucratic
and unadventurous. 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).
966~ (a millenia after Gallifreyans begin to travel in time)
969~?
(probably not
long before the Tepesh incident)
Rassilon
secretly introduces the Immortality Virus (aka the Legacy of Rassilon)
into the Looms of the Prydonian and Patrexes Chapters.
969~ (A few days before Tepesh discovers the Foundry?)
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.

(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 the Minyans destroy
their
entire planet in an civil war killing 100,000,000 people.
1205? (around the time of Minyans revolt?)
??
(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.
The
Worshipful and
Ancient Law of Gallifrey
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 Rassilon’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."
1573
(After Rassilon was entombed)
Several people try to become Lord President and a
civil war almost occurs. However the High Council used its
control of the Looms as leverage to stay in control.
??
(while Pandak is President / probably
before the the Great Key is hidden)
Chancellory Guardsman Bidolf accidentally told
Savos, the barman, about
President Pandak’s retinue. They were both taken by the CIA to
the Oubliette of Eternity and dispersed.
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.

The
War TARDIS in the Cassandra system shuts down to conserve energy.
11,600 (3,502,016,893 BC? / 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 there 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. The Time
Wars will involve thousands of worlds.

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. Numerous
areas that are beyond repair are sealed off entirely.

(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.

(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

(1,000,000 years before Lungbarrow
/ a long time before the Doctor)
The Time Lords become locked
into a state of perpetual cultural stasis. Progress is
considered
“passe” and high culture is considered incomprehensible. Gallifrey's traditions will remain
the same for the next 1,000,000 years. The Time Lords turn asside from the
barren road of technology and
most abandon experimentation of any kind. The very idea of Gallifrey having a
history is
viewed as
vulgar and primitive by the Time Lords.
