{{you may|Time Lord naming|n1=the various naming schemes utilised by ''individual'' Time Lords}}{{first pic|Chronarchs.png|Early in [[Gallifreyan]] history, [[Lord]] [[Griffen]] addresses his newly-minted fellow [[Time Lord]]s as "fellow Chronarchs". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|4-D War (comic story)}})}} | |||
Although primarily known as the '''[[Time Lord]]s''', ([[TV]]: {{cs|[[The War Games (TV story)]]}}) the civilisation which held dominion over time and resided on [[Gallifrey]] were also known by '''various alternative titles'''. ([[TV]]: {{cs|State of Decay (TV story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Book of the War (novel)}}, etc.) | |||
== History == | |||
According to the [[Spy Master]], the [[ancient Gallifreyan]]s called themselves the [[Shobogan (species)|Shobogans]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}) the name later embraced by "new-age Academy dropouts" who protested against the Time Lords' way of life and rejected their heritage as Time Lords. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Deadly Assassin (TV story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}}) Still according to the Master, they adopted the names of Time Lords after mastering [[time travel]], "renam[ing] themselves with characteristic pomposity". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}) One account dealing with the [[Kotturuh crisis]] suggested an intermediate stage where the Gallifreyans called themselves the "[[Space Lord of Gallifrey|Space Lords of Gallifrey]]" during the [[Eternal War]]; ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Monstrous Beauty (comic story)}}) the name of [[Space Lord]]s would be more lastingly adopted by a different species, slightly younger than their time-based counterparts and based on the planet [[Fractallax]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Out of the Box (short story)}}, [[COMIC]]: {{cs|Monstrous Beauty (comic story)}}) Very early in Time Lord history, shortly after they became such, [[Lord]] [[Griffen]] addressed an assembly of the [[Prydonian Chapter]] as "fellow Chronarchs". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|4-D War (comic story)}}) | |||
Until the [[War in Heaven]], it was traditional for a new [[Head of the Presidency]] to cite a few titles to the [[High Council|council of the Ruling Houses]] as part of their inaugurational speech, "reminding [their] audience that [they] are Engineers of History, Lords of the Continua, Overseers to Causality itself, ''ad nauseam''". [[The War King]] broke with this tradition in his speech, which aimed to snap the [[Great House]]s out of their complacency. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Book of the War (novel)|namedep=The War King}}) | |||
The [[Monochrome Auteur]] was familiar with many names, and was unsure what name the [[Plume Coteries]] would be familiar with, citing a number to [[Maritsa]]. He claimed to have "heard them all" and actually "coined a few" himself. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)}}) | |||
[[Abraytha Janus Colefia]] was familiar with "[[Lightbringer]]" but not "[[Archon]]s" and "[[Celestial]]s", and thus did not initially recognise the ''[[Zadellin]]'' crew as such when they introduced themselves with the latter aliases. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Abraytha complained: "You things have ''entirely'' too many names". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Collision of Ships (short story)}}) | |||

|As per "Lightbringers", ''lucifer'', though associated with the planet [[Venus]], with a Latin deity personifying the morning star as distinct from Venus, and with [[the Devil]], literally means "light-bearer" or "light-bringer". The prefix [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ur- "ur-"] means "primitive, original, earliest, archetypal" in the real world; the syllable is notably used within [[Urizen]]'s name. "Arch’" may be read as doubling this sense via evoking "archaic", or as being in line with the Archon/Chronarch terminology and bringing in the "lordship" element. | |||

|[[3 November (releases)|3 November]] [[1997 (releases)|1997]] | |||
|Introduced by the narration as a deliberate euphemism because it is apparently hazardous to speak the beings' real names, or even a more popular synonym such as "Watchmakers". A {{w|continuity announcer}} is a broadcaster whose voice appears between radio or television programmes to give programme information; the two Watchmakers/continuity announcers seen in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Ghost Devices (novel)}}, acting as remote observers of the story's events, are physically described as dressed in jarringly mundane formal wear reminiscent of such broadcasters. The term is, however, also a play on other, temporal or metafictional meanings of the word "continuity". As discussed above, "announcer" is, perhaps notably, etymologically synonymous with "angel". | |||

|Paralleled with the term of "the Great Eye" for [[Eye of Harmony|the singularity]] at the source of their power. Similar to "Race Of Temporal Supremacy". The "Great" adjective may also evoke "the Great Houses". Most prominently, however, the [[w:c:lovecraft:Great Race of Yith|Great Race of Yith]] are the body-switching people of the planet [[Yith]] in [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s {{wi|The Shadow Out of Time}}; Yith is stated elsewhere in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The V Cwejes (short story)}} to have been colonised by the Superiors as part of the [[Nine Gallifreys|Nine Homeworlds project]]. Thus, the implication is that before being forced to abandon Yith and their bodies to transplant themselves into the familiar prehistoric Earth creatures seen in ''The Shadow Out of Time'', the Great Race were a population of Superiors. The "eternal race" of Yith was also discussed at length in the DWU in the ''[[P.R.O.B.E. (series)|P.R.O.B.E.]]'' audiobook [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Guardian At The Gate (audio story)}}, but the Gallifreyan connection was not explicitly refeferenced, and the "Great Race" moniker was not actually used. | |||

|rowspan=3|In the real world, "Lords Temporal" refers to secular British aristocracy within the House of Lords, as distinct from the "Lords Spiritual" (bishops). It is used in the [[DWU]] as a bit of wordplay, using the more common sense of "Temporal" to make it come across as simply a reversed synonym of "Time Lords".

|Highlights the Houses' role as maintainers of logic and linear time; the specific use of the term ''oversee'' evokes their use of the [[Observer Effect]] and [[Eye of Harmony|the Eye]] for that purpose.
