The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey was a book that was once stored in the Panopticon Archive on Gallifrey. It was also the 'key' to Shada the Time Lord's prison planet, when the pages were turned within a TARDIS it would take the craft to Shada. (DW: Shada, WC: Shada)
The text of the book is written in ancient Gallifreyan and reads largely as gibberish though the book itself has several remarkable features:
- It absorbs radiation
- It has no atomic structure
- Time runs backwards over it
- It is impervious to damage
- It cannot be spectrographically analysed
Removal from Gallifrey and subsequent use

Following this meeting it was stolen by Skagra, who used it and the Doctor's TARDIS to travel to Shada. (DW: Shada, WC: Shada)
