{{ | The '''House of Lungbarrow''' was the [[house]] on [[Gallifrey]] where [[the Doctor]] spent their [[The Doctor's early life|childhood]]. It was located halfway up [[Mount Lung|a mountain]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide]]'') and was the [[chapterhouse]] of [[House Lungbarrow]], the disgraced noble Gallifreyan bloodline from which the Doctor sprang, which could itself also be referred to as the "House of Lungbarrow", as the boundary between a Great House and its chapterhouse was somewhat fluid. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Crimes Against History (short story)|Crimes Against History]]'') | ||
The '''House of Lungbarrow''' ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'' | |||
Like all ancient Gallifreyan [[Chapterhouse|Houses]], it had a mind of its own, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') being "semi-sentient". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide]]'') | |||
[[ | == Location == | ||
Lungbarrow was located in a [[mountain]] range on [[Gallifrey]] not far from the [[Capitol|Time Lord Capitol]], perched on the west side of [[Mount Lung]] overlooking the [[Cadonflood River]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') "two days from [[Rassilon's Rampart]]", in the [[Southern Gallifreyan Mountains]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide]]'') | |||
While considered a southern House ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'') because it was to the south of the Capitol, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') Lungbarrow was not actually part of Gallifrey's lower [[South Gallifrey|south hemisphere]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'') and Mount Lung was close enough to have a view of the [[Capitol]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Three Paths (short story)|The Three Paths]]'') Indeed, when she questioned his accent, the [[Ninth Doctor]] suggested to [[Rose Tyler]] that he was from "the north" by the standards of his planet. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') The official southernmost House was [[House Ixion|Ixion]], beyond which were the "southern mountains". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Return of the King (short story)|The Return of the King]]'') | |||
== History == | |||
The House was created by [[the Other]]; a living thing, it remembered being a seedling and, before that, an "insubstantial idea" existing only in the Other's mind. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') | |||
[[The Doctor's father]] once laid out all his plans and projects on the table in the Great Hall of Lungbarrow. He and Mr [[Saldaamir]] were interrupted when the [[First Doctor]] let a [[cobblemouse]] loose, which ran across the table and scattered all the plans and projects in the air.

[[File:Lungbarrow.jpg|thumb|left|The fall of the House of Lungbarrow. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'')]]When the Doctor refused to attend the [[deathday]] of Lungbarrow's [[Kithriarch]], [[Quences]], the House buried itself into the soil of Mount Lung in shame, going missing for 673 years. During that time Quences was killed by his Cousin, [[Glospin]], who framed the Doctor for the murder after Quences' will was hidden. The [[Seventh Doctor]] eventually returned to his home to face his Cousins. After the Doctor foiled Glospin's conspiracy against him, the House rose from the Mountain and crashed into the valley below, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') where it "collapsed". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Crimes Against History (short story)|Crimes Against History]]'') | |||
In an act of reparation, [[President of the High Council|President]] [[Romana]] reinstated Lungbarrow in the Prydonian Chapter, allowing for a new House to be created from the original template, "but without the temper". Cousin [[Innocet]] was appointed Housekeeper of the new House of Lungbarrow, though the process of growing and nurturing it would take some years, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') and the construction of this new House was never completed as most of the surviving Lungbarrow cousins scattered or joined [[Faction Paradox]], which was founded by [[Grandfather Paradox|one of their own]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Crimes Against History (short story)|Crimes Against History]]'') | |||
However, the [[Rivera Manuscript]], a [[praxis]]-dosed [[Rivera Manuscript renegade|renegade]] witnessed an [[the enemy|enemy]] [[the Event|attack]] on "a familiar [[chapterhouse]] in the mountains" on the fringes of [[Time Lord|Great House]] society.

* [[Marc Platt]] said that the House's gigantic, predatory furniture was inspired by a production he had seen of Michael Tippett's opera ''The Midsummer Marriage''. In one scene, a character regressed to her childhood as she climbed some steps, which was dramatised by wheeling a huge staircase onto the stage.
