Faction Paradox were a time-active faction devoted to the promulgation of temporal paradoxes and opposed to the Time Lords and their philosophy of rationality and stability. Founded by Grandfather Paradox, their base is located in the Eleven-Day Empire. They delighted in creating time paradoxes and occasionally took part in The War between the Time Lords and the Enemy.
Origins
Seceding from the House of Lungbarrow (NA: Christmas on a Rational Planet), Grandfather Paradox created House Paradox around four hundred years before what would have been the War in Heaven. To the Time Lords (now made sterile by Pythia's curse), the title of 'Grandfather' was as offensive as the new House's interest in perverting Time and their mockery to Time Lords' pretension to immortality implicit in House Paradox's death fetishism.
The Grandfather founded the Eleven-Day Empire during this time, but was arrested and imprisoned on Shada before House Paradox had Loomed its first generation (FP: The Book of the War).
On escaping during the crisis surrounding the Carnival Queen (NA: Christmas on a Rational Planet) the Grandfather surrendered Paradox's status as a House, transforming it instead into a Faction. Departing Gallifrey and starting to recruit members from other species, Faction Paradox completed the transition from Gallifreyan chapterhouse into at cult.
