An alternate timeline where The Doctor died during the Siege of Trenzalore and the planet became a battlefield graveyard. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)
History
Background
Due to fears that the Doctor would speak his true name and release the Time Lords from their pocket universe at Trenzalore, the Kovarian Chapter of the The Church went rogue in an attempt to prevent the Doctor from ever reaching Trenzalore. (TV: The Time of the Doctor) The Chapter, or the Silence as it generally became known, attempted to blow up the Doctor's TARDIS to kill him (TV: The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang, The Time of the Doctor) and to "engineer the perfect psychopath" in River Song to assassinate the Doctor. (TV: Day of the Moon, Closing Time, The Wedding of River Song, The Time of the Doctor) However, these efforts all failed and played a role in the Doctor reaching Trenzalore. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)
Having become aware of the Silence's plan to kill him and that it was a fixed point in time, (TV: The Almost People, Let's Kill Hitler) the Doctor sought answers for why he had to die before going to Lake Silencio where history stated that River would kill him. The Doctor learned from Dorium Maldovar of the Silence's prophecy of The Question: "on the fields of Trenzalore at the Fall of the Eleventh when no creature can speak falsely or fail to answer a question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered." This question, which Dorium called "the oldest question in the universe, hidden in plain sight" was "Doctor Who?" or a request for the Doctor's real name. Eventually, with the help of River and the Teselecta, the Doctor faked his death so that all but a few believed him to be gone. (TV: The Wedding of River Song)
The Siege of Trenzalore
After a message was broadcast throughout all of time and space, the Doctor and "half the universe" followed the signal to a human colony planet where the Doctor discovered a residual crack in the universe that the message was being broadcast through. With the help of Handles, the Doctor translated the message which was "Doctor Who?" The Doctor learned from Tasha Lem that the planet was Trenzalore and realized that this was the fulfillment of the prophecy he had received from Dorium. More, the Doctor realized that the Time Lords, trapped in their pocket universe, were attempting to get out. If the Doctor spoke his true name, the Time Lords would know that it was safe to return and would come through the crack. However, with "half the universe" surrounding the planet, the return of the Time Lords would spark a new Time War. If the Doctor left the planet, Tasha would have it destroyed by the Papal Mainframe to prevent this outcome.
