Order

Order, referred to in a multiversal sense as Law, was a state in which things existed in an organised, predictable manner. (PROSE: The Coming of the Terraphiles ^[+]Loading...["The Coming of the Terraphiles (novel)"]) The opposite of order was chaos, with the balance between order and chaos being a central structure of reality.

Behind the scenes

• Law was a central part of the cosmology of the Michael Moorcock Multiverse, having been introduced in the 1961 Elric of Melniboné story While the Gods Laugh. This version of Law was officially integrated into the Doctor Who universe with The Coming of the Terraphiles ^[+]Loading...["The Coming of the Terraphiles (novel)"], but Doctor Who essayists such as Elizabeth Sandifer in TARDIS Eruditorum have argued for Moorcockian Law being a key inspiration for the duality of the White and Black Guardians in Season 16.
