A '''planet with an unknown name''' was the hiding place of the [[King Vampire]]. | |||
== Development == | |||
[[K9 Mark II|K9]] reported it had high technological prowess but the peoples were primitive. This was due to the [[Three Who Rule]]'s ban on advanced technology. The scans were lilkely registering the Hydrax as the high technology. The inhabitants did have some hidden technology such as [[Radio transmitter]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay]]'') | |||
== Landscape == | |||
The planet resembled a [[level 2 planet|level 2]] system. A village was the its most prominent feature. It was surrounded by forests. Further afield were caves used by the rebels. In the centre of the village was the ''[[Hydrax]]''. It looked like a castle. Rock had built up around it so it appeared to be on a hill. Beneath it were caves containing the burial chamber of the King Vampire. ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay]]'') | |||
Further afield still were several smaller settlements. One of these were the lands of [[Zarn]], whose dwelling was known as the [[House of Zarn]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'') | |||
== History == | |||
Fleeing the [[Time Lord-Vampire War]], the King Vampire took the ''[[Hydrax]]'', a [[human]] ship, as a source of [[blood]]. He travelled into [[E-Space]] through a [[Charged Vacuum Emboitment]] and took refuge on the planet. | |||
The King Vampire went underground beneath the ''Hydrax''. Over time the ship was covered by earth and came to resemble a castle. A village grew around it. The villagers served the [[Three Who Rule]], who were in turn subservient to the King. ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay]]'') | |||
Visitors from other vilages became infected by the vampires and returned home to infect the other residents. Most, if not all, of these outlying villages had a vampire in control. | |||

The [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Romana II|Romana]] and [[Adric]] landed and were introduced to the Three Who Rule. Adric agreed to become one of them and Romana was taken as a [[sacrifice]]. Adric attempted to free her but was himself taken a prisoner. | |||
The Doctor made contact with [[Kalmar]]'s rebels and they attacked the castle. The [[Time of Arising]] came and the King began to rise from his chamber. The Doctor used a [[scout ship]] to impale and kill him. Without their ruler, the Three also died. ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay]]'') | |||
Before he left, the Doctor, Romana and Adric attended a party with the rebels to celebrate their victory. [[Hurda]] convinced Romana to aid an ill person in another settlement. Romana was led into a trap and Zarn took her prisoner. The [[Eighth Doctor]] and the Fourth rescued her and [[Ivo]] killed Zarn. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'') | |||
