Mictlan
You may be looking for the planet or the Mexica underworld.

Mictlan was the extra-dimensional home of the Time Lord faction known as the Celestis, created as a hiding place from the War in Heaven. (PROSE: Alien Bodies, et al.) It was named after the underworld of Mexica culture, Mictlan. (PROSE: Against Nature)

Mictlan existed in a state of enormous flux. This flux was so corrosive to the rest of the Spiral Politic that it had to be kept on the outer skin of the universe. (PROSE: The Book of the War) As a result, its occupants were immune to time winds or changes imposed on Gallifrey's past. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)

Mictlan was created by the use of block-transfer engines and computational matrices which also linked all the Lord Celestials who made up the Last Parliament. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)

Appearance & geography

The appearance of Mictlan varied with the perceptions of its inhabitants. (PROSE: Alien Bodies) When Entarodora visited Mictlan, the realm appeared as a grey and black landscape with a glowing sky. (PROSE: The Brakespeare Voyage)

The Bone Museum of Mictlan served as a library for agents of the Celestis. It held information on the Eighth Doctor. In addition, there was the Plain of Bones located in this realm. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5) The Celestis took those close to death to Mictlan. (PROSE: Autumn Mist)

The Eighth Doctor once travelled into Mictlan to confront the Celestis. (PROSE: Alien Bodies)

Entarodora projected her consciousness into Mictlan from The San Grael in order to make a deal with Lord Dervishage involving The Brakespeare. Backup records of this meeting were later given to the Great Houses for use as evidence in Great Houses vs. Scarratt. (PROSE: The Brakespeare Voyage)

Mictlan was destroyed due to the actions of Investigator One, the hermit, and the Fendahl Predator. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5) The only known survivors were a Shift, several servants, and the timeships involved in the attack; together, they colonised a small planet early in the universe.
