Ardethe was a planet in the constellation Kasterborous. It was the seventh in its ten planet system and was entirely covered in blue rocks. It had a great secret protected by the Knights of Jeneve, who would instead give hopeful travellers the coordinates of a mysterious planet where they had built a bobby-trapped replica of Emmanuel College in Cambridge. (PROSE: Deadfall)
The Mother and Father of the Shadow Spire saw campfires of "ritual and bone" hiding in Homeworld ruins on Ardethe. (PROSE: The Story So Far...)
Behind the scenes
- Ardethe's three moons are named after the original members of Bananarama: (Keren) Woodward, (Sarah) Dallin and (Siobhan) Fahey.
- There are hints in the novel Deadfall, where Ardethe was first introduced, that the planet was a cloneworld of Gallifrey where Time Lords were destroyed by the Daleks. Christine Summerfield visited another destroyed version of Gallifrey in the later novel Dead Romance.
