Latest revision as of 19:02, 24 December 2024

Index → Timey-wimey detector → Timeline - Time Lords
Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

This page lists appearances of the Time Lords of Gallifrey other than the Doctor and the Master, and other renegades (unless one of them is on official business) in chronological order. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed as much as possible, but still with exceptions, that Time Lords meet in the same order. These cases will be noted. In many cases, there are sequences of stories from different Time Lords' perspectives, where individual stories cannot be compared.

Limiting factors[[edit source]]

Looms[[edit source]]

Any story where looms are the dominant method of reproduction on Gallifrey must take place before PROSE: Lungbarrow.

President[[edit source]]

Any story involving Romana as president must take place after PROSE: Happy Endings and before AUDIO: Enemy Lines.

Series basics[[edit source]]

Time Lord stories can very roughly be sorted based on medium / series

  • Doctor Who stories set on Gallifrey
  • Doctor Who stories featuring individual Time Lords
  • Non-Doctor Who stories featuring individual Time Lords.
  • Big Finish Gallifrey audio stories

Timeline[[edit source]]

Old Time[[edit source]]

Early years[[edit source]]

Gargantosaurs exist on ancient Gallifrey.
Described by the Tenth Doctor as the "deep, distant past before Rassilon and his Black Scrolls, before time travel was even invented", he and Cindy Wu pass by a domeless Capitol and witness aspects of the Time Sentinel throw time sensitives into the Untempered Schism.
Set during the Old Times, when Rassilon was young. A seer predicts a time when the people of Gallifrey would no longer need to fear death.
By some accounts, when Gallifrey is still "a small planet", death is introduced when the Kotturuh visit the planet and deem the Gallifreyans as having much to offer the universe. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead)
The Shobogans are the indigenous inhabitants of Gallifrey. The First Tecteun, the first space traveller, travels to the edge of another galaxy, discovering the abandoned Timeless Child at the base of the Boundary, who becomes the source of the regenerative process. Tecteun begins studying the Child.
Set during the Eternal War. The Gallifreyans are known as "Space Lords". Rassilon is only a commander and in her original, female body. "The Ultimate", aka death, has only recently impacted Gallifreyans.
Set a few weeks after Monstrous Beauty.
Rassilon overthrows the Pythia.

Experiments with time[[edit source]]

Having cracked the Child's genetic code and successfully regenerated for the first time, Tecteun joins the ranks of the Founders.
There's an early unmanned Gallifreyan time probe.
Depicts Omega entering the Time Vortex and is the first of any Time Lord to do so, although they had been monitoring it for years. Rassilon is president and good friends with Omega. Despite not yet having achieved time travel technology, they already call themselves Time Lords. The Time Lords have the ability to regenerate.
Set shortly before Omega's disappearance.
Nine years after the Pythia's curse, looms are the new method of Time Lord reproduction and regeneration has been created alongside them. Omega leaves Gallifrey for the final time, headed towards his fate.
  • Omega is lost to a black hole.
The Time Lords harness the power of a black hole for the first time, and Omega's imprisonment within one is depicted. Directional time travel has not yet been achieved, which might lead one to position The Multi-Faceted War later in the timeline.
Flashbacks. Set during Star Death, depicting Omega's entrapment from his perspective.
Another perspective on Omega's disappearance.

Beginning of Rassilon Era[[edit source]]

Rassilon activates the Eye of Harmony, so post-Star Death where the Time Lords were still seeking a power source for time travel. The Rassilon Era begins here with Year Zero.
The Time Lords create the Web of Time, which brings logic and order to the universe.
The anchoring of the thread.
The Rassilon Era begins with the death of Omega and the end of the Vampire War. Regeneration is invented by Thremix. Rassilon unleashes a Virus which turns some of the Gallifreyan population into Time Lords and kills others, thus establishing the social order which lasts into the Doctor's era.
The Matrix and the Eye of Harmony are noted as already existing.
Set during the Eternal War. Rassilon is president and the Time Lords still lack complete mastery over time, although experiments are certainly underway.
Skellis discovers that molecular dispersal of Vampires only spreads their kind throughout space and time, leading to the invention and construction of bowships. Soon after, the Celestial Intervention Agency is founded.
100 years after Skellis' discovery, Rassilon leads a bowship to destroy the last Great Vampire, however other Vampire species still remain, and the King Vampire has escaped. Rassilon spends decades searching for him, before giving up. Rassilon has plans for new time ships.
According to the "storybook", the Great One has been defeated by Rassilon, so the Vampire War is apparently over. Omega is also dead, setting this after Star Death. In a projection created by the Doctor's TARDIS, Rassilon faces a descendent of the Great Old One, Tepesh. According to this account, Rassilon has been systematically adjusting the DNA of the great houses as part of his experiments with regeneration.
The Eternal War against the Yssgaroth ends, and veterans of the Vampire conflict return to Gallifrey shortly after the plague of The Scrolls of Rassilon.
Several early unmanned timeships and TARDISes are sent out into the cosmos. One is eventually encountered by the First Doctor (AUDIO: The Horror at Bletchington Station) and another by the Second and Fourth Doctors. (PROSE: Heart of TARDIS)
Rassilon is testing out prototypes of the Type 1 TARDIS. Omega is thought dead.
A group of Time Lords test pilot the first ever TARDIS.

The true lords of time[[edit source]]

The Time Lords are at war with the Racnoss. TARDISes are in use, so post-Collision Course
Rassilon has led the Fledgling Empires against Vampires and Racnoss, so post-Empire of the Racnoss. Roppen creates the Moment, using techniques used on early TARDISes, which Rassilon uses against the Nestenes.
Rassilon institutes the Non-interference policy. (COMIC: The Final Chapter)
The Division is founded on Gallifrey. (TV: Survivors of the Flux)
An incarnation of the Timeless Child is recruited into the Division, who exist to circumvent the non-interference policy setting this after its creation.
9.6 years after Omega's death, the Other throws himself into a loom to escape Rassilon's tyranny.

A generation after Rassilon[[edit source]]

Set twenty years after Star Death. The Time Lords present at Omega's death are old now, with a new generation of younger Gallifreyans doing things. Rassilon is not mentioned. This aligns with the statement in PROSE: The Infinity Doctors that the Time Wars are fought a generation after Rassilon.
Set ten years after 4-D War.

The reign of Morbius[[edit source]]

The President who succeeded Rassilon faces the rise of Morbius in the Great Schism. (AUDIO: Morbius)
Iris Wildthyme, in several incarnations, is summoned to the Death Zone to deal with Morbius.
Thessalia remembers the Imperator's rise.
Describes the fall of the Imperator.
The Fifth Doctor travels back in time to the war against Morbius following his exile. Morbius is defeated and executed on Karn.

The Fugitive Doctor's service[[edit source]]

The Fugitive Doctor is working for the Division.
The Fugitive Doctor is working for the Division and has been promised this will be her final mission. She defeats the Ravagers at the Siege of Atropos, restoring the Time Lords' control of time which she believes will be the end of the Dark Times, setting this in an early stage of Time Lord history.
The Fugitive Doctor leaves the Division and goes on the run.
The Fugitive Doctor is on the run from the Division and hides using a Chameleon Arch.
A Matrix projection depicts the Doctor having their mind wiped by the Division.

10,000,000 years of absolute power[[edit source]]

Between the founding of Time Lord society and the Doctor's era, the Time Lords have "ten million years of absolute power". (TV: The Ultimate Foe)
TARDISes are commonplace, setting this long after The Multi-Faceted War. The Time Lords are also long stuck-in-their-ways in regards to their non-interference policy, setting this after any story where the Time Lords are at war with other races.
The non-interference policy has been established.
Heirs to the throne of the nearby Levithian Empire, twins Asher and Ella land on Gallifrey in a capsule to escape their uncle Grath's tyranny. Their ease of entry suggests the transduction barrier hasn't been established yet, which according to Renaissance took the Disciples of Omega four generations to install. Rigel is aware of the Time Lords' non-interference policy, and the Capitol (depicted as domed) and Arcadia both exist. (PROSE: The Twins in the Wood)

The Doctor's Era[[edit source]]

The First Doctor[[edit source]]

The Doctor's childhood.
The Doctor is expelled from the Academy.
The Doctor hasn't left Gallifrey and is referred to as "Thete".

The Doctor has retired from his travels and is living in his garden. He has "more or less" resolved his differences with the Time Lords, who investigate his meddling in Paris in 1572. The Time Lords are unable to find strong evidence against him and leave him to it.

The Second Doctor[[edit source]]

The Doctor encounters Constable Pavo who is in pursuit of the Monk.
Jamie gets his first look at the Stattenheim remote control, setting this before The Two Doctors. Since Jamie's not described as an adult, and considering the The Two Doctors folllows directly on from World Game, with no plausible gap in between, this must occur during The Black Hole.
Time Lord agent Ailla spies on Koschei.
The Doctor is forced to summon the Time Lords to deal with the War Lords and is put on trial for his interference in the universe. Conceding his point that there is evil to be fought in the universe, the Time Lords sentence the Doctor to be exiled to late 20th century Earth with a forced regeneration.
The Doctor is recruited by the CIA immediately following his trial. He firsts requests to visit World War I to verify the kidnapped humans from the War Games were returned home. Following his first mission he requests the return of Jamie and is assigned his mission to visit Dastari, setting up for The Two Doctors.

Around forty years after he is left back on Earth, Jamie McCrimmon is visited by a CIA agent inquiring about one of his adventures with the Second Doctor.
Alone, the Doctor is sent on a mission to Karn by the Time Lords, who offer to annul his death sentence in return. However, he discovers that the Time Lords have been sending him on missions and wiping his memory several times over, with no intention of rescinding his exile. His memory is wiped again and he is prepared for another mission.
The Doctor is travelling alone and working for the Time Lords, specifically on "agency business”.
The Doctor has had his sentence of exile to Earth enforced, but he was able to escape before he could be forced to change appearance. The Time Lords use animated scarecrows to fulfil his sentence.
According to this account, the Doctor's regeneration and exile immediately follows his trial with no apparent interruptions.
