Silence: Difference between revisions

'''Silence''' was the cause which [[the Church]] of the [[Papal Mainframe]], led by [[Mother Superious]] [[Tasha Lem]], dedicated itself to at the start of the [[Siege of Trenzalore]], becoming the Church of [[the Silence]]; among their ranks were a [[species]] known as the [[Silent]]s, who served as confessional priests. The Church was reformed as such to ensure that the [[Eleventh Doctor]] would not speak [[The Doctor's name|his name]] and this answer [[the Question]] sent by the [[Time Lord]]s from the [[crack in time]] on the [[planet]] [[Trenzalore]]; were he to do so, the Time Lords would have returned to [[N-Space|the universe]], resulting in a new [[Time War]] with the [[Dalek]]s and the many other races waiting above Trenzalore. Realising this, the Doctor indeed never spoke his name, and so the Siege ultimately ended with the Time Lords remaining in their [[pocket universe]].
