Before the Revelation, Gallifrey was a matriarchal society ruled by the [[Pythia]] through [[magic]] and [[superstition]]. [[Telepathy]] was used rather than speech and few individuals kept their own personality or secrets, meaning that the emergence of strong-willed individuals like Rassilon was notable. The [[Triumvirate]] decided it was better to promote reason and science. This led to the Intuitive Revelation, where they overthrew the Pythia, with [[Rassilon]] gaining the most influence in the aftermath.

In retribution for the Revelation, Rassilon's forces were cursed to be unable to bear children, leading to the invention of [[loom]]s. The loom-born Gallifreyans would be unable to wield telepathy as their ancestors had. This created a timeless stagnancy in Time Lord culture, such that little changed in the following millions of years.
