It is specifically stated in The Brilliant Book 2011 and implied in Amy's Choice that the Shadow Proclamation authorised the Time Lord's time-travelling. I agree that, when compared with the Shadow Architect's statements in Journey's End, it seems a bit unlikely, but it deserves at least a mention if an official source stated it. The other thing is that The Trial of a Time Lord implies that the Doctor's era on Gallifrey (one where time-travel in TARDISes is common) takes place billions of years in the future, and the Proclamation seen in Journey's End is in the year 2009. Thus it is possible that the Proclamation later came into contact with the once legendary Time Lords when they became more social with other species and began mapping the Time Vortex or whatever, and began to enforce the Laws of Time. Although the Time Lords did definately uphold the Laws of Time, and quite possibly invented them, it now seems as though it is in fact the Proclamation that makes them enforce this. I also think the fact that the Proclamation oversaw time-travel correlates with the taxing of the Navarinos in Delta and the Bannermen.

Even if the Gallifrey episodes that we saw took place in the far future, they could have easily had contact with the Shadow Proclamation before 2009. The reason that the shadow proclamation thought of the time lords as the stuff of legend is that there aren't any Time Lords any more. It is possible that the Time Lords wrere technically supposed to abide by the shadow proclamation's laws, but the shadow proclamation couldn't police the Time Lords if they tried. A few episodes of the classic show made it seem like the Time Lords did bad stuff all the time back in the day, and there has been no mention of the proclamation being able to stop them.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] <sup>[[User talk:Icecreamdif|talk to me]]</sup> 18:26, December 24, 2011 (UTC) | |||
