The Homeworld (Dead Romance)
During the bottle universe gambit, Chris Cwej referred to the home planet of his employers as "the Homeworld" or the homeworld when talking to Christine Summerfield.
This Homeworld was located near the centre of the Galaxy, (PROSE: Dead Romance [+]Loading...["Dead Romance (novel)","Dead Romance"]) something that was also true of the pre-War homeworld of the Time Lords. (PROSE: Human Nature [+]Loading...["Human Nature (novel)"]) According to Cwej, some of the "time travellers" didn't invade the bottle, but instead set up colony-worlds within the "real" universe, (PROSE: Dead Romance [+]Loading...["Dead Romance (novel)","Dead Romance"]) something which the Homeworld generally perceived to be the original also did. (PROSE: The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"]). However, a later account indicated that only one House had invaded the bottle, (AUDIO: The Eleven Day Empire) and indeed The Book of the War stated that, originally, each cloneworld had a caretaker-House to look after it. (PROSE: The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"]) An even later account, however, stated that Christine found the Cathedral of Time during a lull in the War when the Architects considered leaving the universe entirely. This implied that the Homeworld which Christine found herself on was the primary Homeworld. (PROSE: Cousin Eliza [+]Loading...["Cousin Eliza (feature)"])
Either way, by the time Christine Summerfield arrived at the the capitol city of the homeworld, it appeared to be in ruins. Whilst there, she speculated that the universe she was currently in could be a bottle universe, just like hers. (PROSE: Dead Romance) However, Christine, then calling herself Eliza, was in the Eleven-Day Empire, which was decidedly located in the universe of The Book of the War rather than any bottle thereof when it fell. (AUDIO: The Eleven-Day Empire [+]Loading...["The Eleven-Day Empire (audio story)"]) Despite this, it was still plausible for the Homeworld on which Christine wrote most of Dead Romance to be located within a bottle, as Christine planned to ask the Gods to carry her into the universe above.
