Transcendental beings were creatures that had existed since before the universe of N-Space had formed, made from the very fabric of time itself. These beings included the Guardians of Time, the Eternals and their cousins the Chronovores (described as the Guardians' children), the Time Wraiths, the Swimmers, and the Great Old Ones. The Sixth Doctor described them as beyond humanity's comprehension, and even his own. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel [+]Loading...["The Quantum Archangel (novel)"])
Interaction with the normal universe[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the aftermath of the Big Bang, the Transcendental beings found themselves in their new home when six dimensions curdled into themselves and formed a six-dimensional universe, a separate realm where they could thrive and prosper without interference from the lesser beings. Known to human science as Calabi-Yau Space, the Six-Fold-Realm was protected by the Great and Ancient Covenant, which bound them, (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel [+]Loading...["The Quantum Archangel (novel)"]) serving as codes of conduct.
