Although primarily known as the Time Lords, (TV: The War Games [+]Loading...["[[The War Games (TV story)]]"]) the civilisation which held dominion over time and resided on Gallifrey were also known by various alternative titles. (TV: State of Decay [+]Loading...["State of Decay (TV story)"], PROSE: The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"], etc.)
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
According to the Spy Master, the ancient Gallifreyans called themselves the Shobogans, (TV: The Timeless Children [+]Loading...["The Timeless Children (TV story)"]) the name later embraced by "new-age Academy dropouts" who protested against the Time Lords' way of life and rejected their heritage as Time Lords. (TV: The Deadly Assassin [+]Loading...["The Deadly Assassin (TV story)"], PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"]) Still according to the Master, they adopted the names of Time Lords after mastering time travel, "renam[ing] themselves with characteristic pomposity". (TV: The Timeless Children [+]Loading...["The Timeless Children (TV story)"]) One account dealing with the Kotturuh crisis suggested an intermediate stage where the Gallifreyans called themselves the "Space Lords of Gallifrey" during the Eternal War; (COMIC: Monstrous Beauty [+]Loading...["Monstrous Beauty (comic story)"]) the name of Space Lords would be more lastingly adopted by a different species, slightly younger than their time-based counterparts and based on the planet Fractallax. (PROSE: Out of the Box [+]Loading...["Out of the Box (short story)"], COMIC: Monstrous Beauty [+]Loading...["Monstrous Beauty (comic story)"]) Very early in Time Lord history, shortly after they became such, Lord Griffen addressed an assembly of the Prydonian Chapter as "fellow Chronarchs". (COMIC: 4-D War [+]Loading...["4-D War (comic story)"])
Until the War in Heaven, it was traditional for a new Head of the Presidency to cite a few titles to the council of the Ruling Houses as part of their inaugurational speech, "reminding [their] audience that [they] are Engineers of History, Lords of the Continua, Overseers to Causality itself, ad nauseam". The War King broke with this tradition in his speech, which aimed to snap the Great Houses out of their complacency. (PROSE: "The War King" [+]Part of The Book of the War, Loading...{"namedep":"The War King","1":"The Book of the War (novel)"})
The Monochrome Auteur was familiar with many names, and was unsure what name the Plume Coteries would be familiar with, citing a number to Maritsa. He claimed to have "heard them all" and actually "coined a few" himself. (PROSE: The Cactus and the Corpse [+]Loading...["The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)"])
Abraytha Janus Colefia was familiar with "Lightbringer" but not "Archons" and "Celestials", and thus did not initially recognise the Zadellin crew as such when they introduced themselves with the latter aliases. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Abraytha complained: "You things have entirely too many names". (PROSE: A Collision of Ships [+]Loading...["A Collision of Ships (short story)"])

Used in the three cited sources as part of a willful effort on the part of speakers to equate the Houses' members with the religious figures, with Urizen being referenced as "God" or "Allah". |

Within other sources such as Faction Paradox, implicitly references their role as creators and designers of the Linear Universe; evokes Urizen's epithet as "Urizen the Architect" and Rassilon's stated origins as being "regarded [in his own time] mainly as an engineer and an architect" within TV: The Deadly Assassin [+]Loading...["The Deadly Assassin (TV story)"]. |

"archons" | PROSE: Crimes Against History [+]Loading...["Crimes Against History (short story)"] | Used by the non-diegetic third-person narrator. | 11 November 2001 | The Greek title of archon referred to a leader, being variously used for anything from a team chief to a "Lord". Additionally, in Gnosticism, the Archons are the antagonistic builders and rulers of the physical universe, keeping souls trapped and unable to ascend to higher forms of reality — similar to the position of the Time Lords within the War in Heaven's cosmology. |

"Archons of the Morning Star" | PROSE: Previously On… The Multiverse [+]Loading...["Previously On… The Multiverse (short story)"] | Used by the Bookwyrm in narration. | 26 December 2023 | As per "Archons" above, the name is equivalent to "Lords of the Morning Star", while adding the further spiritual connotations of the term "Archons". "The Morning Star" as a term for the Archons' homeworld evokes its status as the home of the earliest sapient species in the Dark Times and as a source of rationalist "enlightenment". The term is used in the real world for the planet Venus; Venus was sometimes suggested as the Doctor's home planet in the 39th century early 1960s accounts which implied him to be human-descended. This is metafictionally alluded to in PROSE: The Brakespeare Voyage [+]Loading...["The Brakespeare Voyage (novel)"] and AUDIO: Deadline [+]Loading...["Deadline (audio story)"]. |

"Archons of Time" | PROSE: The Bloodletters [+]Loading...["The Bloodletters (novel)"] | 1 May 2020 | As per "Archons" above, the name is equivalent to "Lords of Time", while adding the further spiritual connotations of the term "Archons". | |
PROSE: The Dinosaur in the Snow [+]Loading...["The Dinosaur in the Snow (short story)"] | Used by Tirion in dialogue. | 26 December 2023 | ||
PROSE: Love & War [+]Loading...["Love & War (short story)"] | Used by the Dark Lord in dialogue. | |||

PROSE: The Carnage of Urmafrae [+]Loading...["The Carnage of Urmafrae (short story)"] | Used by the non-diegetic third-person narrator. | |||
"arch’ur-lucifers" | PROSE: The Claus-Rosen Bridge [+]Loading...["The Claus-Rosen Bridge (short story)"] | 26 December 2024 | As per "Lightbringers", lucifer, though associated with the planet Venus, with a Latin deity personifying the morning star as distinct from Venus, and with the Devil, literally means "light-bearer" or "light-bringer". The prefix "ur-" means "primitive, original, earliest, archetypal" in the real world; the syllable is notably used within Urizen's name. "Arch’" may be read as doubling this sense via evoking "archaic", or as being in line with the Archon/Chronarch terminology and bringing in the "lordship" element. | |
"Authors of History" | PROSE: The Cactus and the Corpse [+]Loading...["The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)"] | Used by Auteur in dialogue. | 29 October 2023 | Refers to their roles as creators of history via the Anchoring of the Thread. Auteur implies in PROSE: The Cactus and the Corpse [+]Loading...["The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)"] that he coined the term. |
"Bijoutiers mystérieux" | PROSE: Auteur and the Homeworld [+]Loading...["Auteur and the Homeworld (poem)"] | Used by Auteur in dialogue. | 17 December 2022 | French for "mysterious jewelers", referencing both the idea of them as craftsmen and clockmakers as seen with "Architects" and "Watchmakers", and the alternative name of their planet as Jewel, as introduced in PROSE: Return of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Return of the Daleks (comic story)"] and also referenced by the "Lords of Jewel" designation in PROSE: A Bright White Crack [+]Loading...["A Bright White Crack (short story)"]. |
"Boogeymen of Creation" | PROSE: A Bright White Crack [+]Loading...["A Bright White Crack (short story)"] | Used by Larles in dialogue. | 24 June 2020 | The Bogeyman is a folkloric figure, the archetype of a hazily-defined "scary" entity used to scare children. The appellation suggests that the Superiors function as this on a universal, and even interuniversal level. |
"Causal Initiators" | PROSE: The Dinosaur in the Snow [+]Loading...["The Dinosaur in the Snow (short story)"] | Used by Tirion in dialogue. | 26 December 2023 | Evokes the metaphysical concept of the "prime mover" or "first uncaused cause", theorised as a necessary origin point of history to avoid an infinite causal regress, and thus considered a theoretical basis for the existence of God. As such, references the beings' role as originators of the causal universe via the anchoring of the thread. |
"Celestials" | PROSE: The Cactus and the Corpse [+]Loading...["The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)"] | Used by Auteur in dialogue. | 29 October 2023 | The adjective "Celestial", derived from the Mediaeval Latin "caelestialis", refers to something originating from "the sky", "the heavens" or "the sky". As such, "the Celestials" or "the Celestial Ones" may be read both with a mythological or spiritual association, or simply as referencing the beings' extraterrestrial origins. TV: The Deadly Assassin [+]Loading...["The Deadly Assassin (TV story)"] introduced a secret Time Lord security service calling itself "the Celestial Intervention Agency", playing on both these meanings but not, at that time, necessarily intended as referring to the species of the Agency's membership outright. The Toymaker, a being sometimes intended or depicted as a Time Lord, was repeatedly described as "celestial" within TV: The Celestial Toymaker [+]Loading...["The Celestial Toymaker (TV story)"], with "the Celestial Toymaker" later being misconstrued by various sources as a name for the entity himself. In TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"], the Fourteenth Doctor offers the Toymaker the chance for the two of them to become "celestial" together if they went "back to the stars". In AUDIO: Faustian [+]Loading...["Faustian (audio story)"], Eric Roberts's Master describes the Time Lords as "a celestial race". |
PROSE: The Two Auteurs [+]Loading...["The Two Auteurs (short story)"] | 26 December 2023 | |||
PROSE: Love & War [+]Loading...["Love & War (short story)"] | Used by Olivia Kagg Waldermein in narration within a footnote. | |||
PROSE: Presents [+]Loading...["Presents (short story)"] | Used by the non-diegetic third-person narrator. | |||
PROSE: A Collision of Ships [+]Loading...["A Collision of Ships (short story)"] | Used by Zerlan in dialogue. | 31 March 2024 | ||
"Celestial Ones" | PROSE: Head of State [+]Loading...["Head of State (novel)"] | Used in narration within "The Thousand And Second Night as translated by Sir Richard Burton". | 29 June 2015 | |
"Celestial ticket-inspectors" | PROSE: The Book of the Snowstorm [+]Loading...["The Book of the Snowstorm (short story)"] | Used by the non-diegetic third-person narrator. | 26 December 2023 | See "Celestials" above. The Time Lords are described by the Third Doctor as "galactic ticket-inspectors, if you like" in TV: The Time Warrior [+]Loading...["The Time Warrior (TV story)"]. The term is used as a chapter title in PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords [+]Loading...["A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)"], and also referenced in COMIC: Blood Invocation [+]Loading...["Blood Invocation (comic story)"] where it is said some of the monkish covens viewed Rassilon as a "kind of cosmic traffic warden". |
"Chronarchs" | COMIC: 4-D War [+]Loading...["4-D War (comic story)"] | Used by Lord Griffen in dialogue. | 12 March 1981 | As per the "archon" terminology above and the Ancient Greek "chronos" for "Time", refers to being who are Rulers (or Lords) of Time — making this equivalent to "Archons of Time" — or beings whose mode of governance employs time. |
PROSE: Going Once, Going Twice [+]Loading...["Going Once, Going Twice (short story)"] | Used by the non-diegetic third-person narrator. | 23 December 2018 | ||
"Chronarchy" | PROSE: Eyes [+]Loading...["Eyes (short story)"] | Used by the Queen of the Tyleth in dialogue. | 25 January 2018 | "The Chronarchy" was used by Alan Moore and Steve Moore in PROSE: A Chronology of Everything (Almost) [+]Loading...["A Chronology of Everything (Almost) (short story)","A Chronology of Everything (Almost)"] as a collective name for the Quality Universe's counterparts of the Time Lords, in reference to Moore's earlier coinage of "Chronarchs" in COMIC: 4-D War [+]Loading...["4-D War (comic story)"]. The term was used in dialogue by PROSE: Eyes [+]Loading...["Eyes (short story)"], in a manner suggesting it referred to the Great Houses' polity rather than the species as such, with the Queen of the Tyleth threatening war "against your universe, and your feeble chonarchy" while addressing a Homeworlder. |
"Continuity announcers" | PROSE: Ghost Devices [+]Loading...["Ghost Devices (novel)"] | Used by the non-diegetic third-person narrator. | 3 November 1997 | Introduced by the narration as a deliberate euphemism because it is apparently hazardous to speak the beings' real names, or even a more popular synonym such as "Watchmakers". A continuity announcer is a broadcaster whose voice appears between radio or television programmes to give programme information; the two Watchmakers/continuity announcers seen in PROSE: Ghost Devices [+]Loading...["Ghost Devices (novel)"], acting as remote observers of the story's events, are physically described as dressed in jarringly mundane formal wear reminiscent of such broadcasters. The term is, however, also a play on other, temporal or metafictional meanings of the word "continuity". As discussed above, "announcer" is, perhaps notably, etymologically synonymous with "angel". |
"Darkness-Banishers" | PROSE: The Claus-Rosen Bridge [+]Loading...["The Claus-Rosen Bridge (short story)"] | Used by the non-diegetic third-person narrator, said to have been coined by Viv-Gabriel Arch'ikarios. | 26 December 2023 | A less positive inversion of "Lightbringers", focusing on their role in ending the Dark Times and banishing or hunting down many beings native to that version of reality. |
"Denizens of the Fortress of History" | PROSE: A Collision of Ships [+]Loading...["A Collision of Ships (short story)"] | Used by Zerlan in dialogue. | 31 March 2024 | In allusion to "the Fortress of History" as a name for their home planet. |
"the divine Houses" | PROSE: Warlords of Utopia [+]Loading...["Warlords of Utopia (novel)"] | Used by Marcus Americanius Scriptor in narraiton. | 13 December 2004 | A variant on "the Houses", melding it with "gods" terminology; see those entries. |
"dwellers in the Great Houses" | PROSE: Of the City of the Saved... [+]Loading...["Of the City of the Saved... (novel)"] | Used by Melicia Clutterbuck in The Human Species: A Spotter’s Guide | 11 May 2004 | Seems to be based on the assumption that "Great House" refers to the physical Chapterhouses in which the Time Lords reside, as opposed to the bloodlines attached to specific Chapterhouses, as more commonly shown. Echoed by "the House-Dwellers" in PROSE: A Bright White Crack [+]Loading...["A Bright White Crack (short story)"]. |
"elementals" | PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street [+]Loading...["The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)"] | Used by the intra-diegetic narrator, adopting the perspective of 18th century occultists in the post-War universe. | 5 November 2001 | The idea of "Elementals", supernatural beings associated with a particular element, was popularised in the 16th century by Paracelsus. Originally referring to the four classical elements, it is used in post-War-universe-related material under the assumption that the Time Lords were elementals of time, with Sabbath Dei stating in PROSE: Camera Obscura [+]Loading...["Camera Obscura (novel)"] that it is a fitting name for "an ultimate constituent of reality". In PROSE: Love & War [+]Loading...["Love & War (short story)"], a cladistic terminology of "Time Elementals", with "Lesser Time Elementals" being the humanoid Archons and "Greater Time Elementals" being the timeships, is said to have been elaborated in the post-War universe by Meta-Historian Leiter Formosis. The terminology was shown to have been used by members of the race in later stories, such as PROSE: The God Who Came For Christmas [+]Loading...["The God Who Came For Christmas (short story)"] where the God of the Inner Mysteries, in addition to being described in narration as "an elemental", refers to his ship as "one of the great elementals" in dialogue. "Elemental forces" is used in PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street [+]Loading...["The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)"] as a collective to refer to the Babewyn, a different class of elementals altogether from the Time Lords, but in narration within PROSE: Sometime Never... [+]Loading...["Sometime Never... (novel)"], the Doctor is referred to as the "one elemental force" which the Council of Eight was unable to control. "An elemental force" was used repeatedly in TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"] to describe the Toymaker. "Elemental forces" was used in PROSE: Love & War [+]Loading...["Love & War (short story)"] as explicitly an alternative term for the Archons or Lesser Time Elementals. |
PROSE: The God Who Came For Christmas [+]Loading...["The God Who Came For Christmas (short story)"] | Used by the extra-diegetic narrator. | 26 December 2023 | ||
"Elementals" | PROSE: Camera Obscura [+]Loading...["Camera Obscura (novel)"] | Used by Sabbath Dei and the Eighth Doctor in dialogue, with the latter disputing the name. | 5 August 2002 | |

PROSE: Opioid Painkiller of the People [+]Loading...["Opioid Painkiller of the People (short story)"] | Used in dialogue. | 17 January 2024 | ||
"Gallifrey" | PROSE: The Pit [+]Loading...["The Pit (novel)"] | Stated by the Seventh Doctor in dialogue to have originally been a name for the people of the planet in Ancient Gallifreyan. | 18 March 1993 | Originally introduced in TV: The Time Warrior [+]Loading...["The Time Warrior (TV story)"] as a name for the Time Lords' home planet. Stated by the Doctor in PROSE: The Pit [+]Loading...["The Pit (novel)"] to translate to "they that walk in the shadows". |
"gods" | TV: Underworld [+]Loading...["Underworld (TV story)"] | Used by Minyans such as Orfe, Herrick, and Idas, and by the Fourth Doctor, in dialogue. | 7 January - 28 January 1978 | "Gods", sometimes uncapitalised, is a general real-world term for deities. Instances vary, and sometimes flip-flop, between "gods" being a descriptor for the kind of beings the Time Lords are, but not exclusive to them, and cases where "the gods" (or "the Gods") is used to mean "the Time Lords" exclusively; the question is typically contextual, depending upon the culture of the speaker. |
PROSE: The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"] | Mentioned in entry "Zo La Domini" [+]Part of The Book of the War, Loading...{"namedep":"Zo La Domini","1":"The Book of the War (novel)"} as a "constant description": that they are "considered the 'gods' of the time-aware universe". | 17 September 2002 | ||

"The Great Houses" | AUDIO: The Eleven Day Empire [+]Loading...["The Eleven Day Empire (audio story)"] | Used by Lord Ruthven in dialogue. In deleted scenes, also used in dialogue by Cousin Eliza. | October 2001 | A real-world term used for an aristocratic bloodline.
