After the destruction of [[Gallifrey]], the Council of Eight created their fortress in the heart of the [[Time Vortex]] so that they could become the new Lords of Time.

To this end, they convinced [[Sabbath]] that parallel timelines were causing damage to the "prime" reality and that by destroying them he would be able to steer humanity to the path of the masters of the Universe. | After the destruction of [[Gallifrey]], the Council of Eight created their fortress in the heart of the [[Time Vortex]] so that they could become the new Lords of Time.
