to be added
Characters
References
- Dead Cyberons litter the far future ruins of the Superior citadel.
- Frey is an Ephem.
- Chris is taken to a 30-second town.
- Christina died protecting a family in England from Cyberons.
- Time-rewinders and backtime spears were used in the Uprising.
- The Uprising was fought on the Ridge of Stars.
- During the Uprising, some factions of the Superiors have allied with forces across the multiverse such as the Gendar Infinita, the execrable Lords Dimensional, and even the Adversary's Scion.
- The Friend are a peaceful breakoff group from the Enemy.
- Ephem refer to the Superiors as Perpetua.
Story notes
- David A. McIntee's character Koschei (an early identity of the Master introduced in the novel The Dark Path) appears here for the first time in a Doctor Who spin-off rather than Doctor Who proper. There had previously been plans by BBV Productions to feature Koschei (played by Anthony Ainley) as the protagonist of an audio series, but those did not come to pass due to Ainley's lack of availability. (REF: Downtime – The Lost Years of Doctor Who)
Continuity
- Christina finds Cwej in the Black Tombs of Svelter V. (PROSE: The Aftermath, The V Cwejes)
- When learning of a female Cwej, Chris is reminded of 1968 Chicago. (PROSE: In the Loop)
- Frey's name is a distortion of "Fred". (TV: The Ribos Operation, AUDIO: Renaissance) Frey's original biodata donor considers herself a friend of Cwej among the Superiors, and shares a common friend. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)
- The Tower has murals of events from the stories Fountain of Youth, Ring Theory, and In the Loop.
- When a Superior dies for a final time, they often leave behind an animalistic skeleton larger than their exterior humanoid body. (PROSE: Vignettes of an Uprising)
- Koschei used to pull pranks with his friend. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties) He is capable of hypnosis. (PROSE: The Dark Path)
- Praxis is a hallucinogen which affects the flow of time. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
- Paintings on the Tower's walls depict an ancient battle between Superiors and Orygen. (PROSE: The V Cwejes)
- Through Praxis, Cwej briefly sees beyond the Totality. Every point in his life is lined up into a "bright white crack", (PROSE: A Bright White Crack) including the events of In the Loop and The Ursine Brood.
