Time Lords had a culture of myths and legends, sometimes referred to as Time Lord mythology. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel [+]Loading...["The Quantum Archangel (novel)"], Coldheart [+]Loading...["Coldheart (novel)"])

The Time Shades, Great Vampires, Krafayis and Vortisaurs were all real species that were nonetheless considered myths, mere "nonsense", in Narvin and Valyes's time. (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"])

Time Lord mythology also included the Menti Celesti, gods of the Ancient Gallifreyans. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible [+]Loading...["Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)"], Lungbarrow [+]Loading...["Lungbarrow (novel)"])
