Before [[Rassilon]] created the [[Web of Time]] the universe was not dictated by logic. This ''pre-time lord universe'' was ruled by magic and chaos. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'') | |||
By [[the Doctor]]'s time those who knew about the universe before it was logical assumed that it was the universe that came before [[N-Space]], although it was actually [[N-Space]] before history was created.

When the universe was rationalized many powerful species fled into other realities, many found their way back into [[N-Space]] and some (such as the [[Ancient Lights]], [[Great Old One]]s and [[The Beast (The Impossible Planet)|the Beast]]) still followed the rules of the pre-time lord universe giving them [[god]]-like powers. Thus, some of the most powerful beings in existence came from before [[Rassilon]] created a structure for time, making them older even than time itself.

Because of new laws like the [[speed of light]] or the charge of the [[electron]], the Great Old Ones found they had great power and became terrible gods.
