Afterwards the Doctors were left unsure if they'd succeeded or not, but concluded it was better to have failed doing the right thing than succeeding at the wrong. Due to the timelines being out of sync, the first eleven incarnations involved would forget this act. This caused the Doctor to reject his war incarnation until the memories of saving Gallifrey caught up with the Eleventh Doctor.

To the rest of [[N-Space]], it looked as if the Time Lords had been destroyed as well, making it seem that the War had ended with the destruction of both factions. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') However, some Daleks survived the destruction. One [[Metaltron|Dalek]] fell through time and crashed on Earth in the [[20th century]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') The Emperor’s flagship ended up in the distant future, crippled but with the Emperor himself still alive. Over the centuries he manipulated the [[Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire]] and rebuilt the fleet. It was exposed by the [[Ninth Doctor]] in [[200100|200,100]], resulting in the [[Battle of the Game Station]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'') | |||
The [[Cult of Skaro]], who survived the Time War by hiding in a [[Void Ship|ship]] within [[the Void]], were aware of the fall of Gallifrey. Emerging on Earth in [[2007]], they brought with them the [[Genesis Ark]], a [[dimensionally transcendental]] [[prison ship]] which [[Dalek Sec]] believed to be all that survived of the Time Lords' [[homeworld]]. Coming into [[Battle of Canary Wharf|conflict]] with the [[Tenth Doctor]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'') the Cult escaped via [[emergency temporal shift]] to [[1930]] where they faced the Doctor again, with the resulting [[Invasion of Manhattan|confrontation]] ending in the deaths of all the Cult bar [[Dalek Caan]], who the Doctor believed to be the last surviving Dalek in the universe. In light of the deaths that he had witnessed, both Dalek [[Human-Dalek|and]] [[human]], the Doctor offered Caan his help only to be rejected as the Dalek initiated another temporal shift.

Breaking the [[time lock]], the temporal shift took Caan into the Time War where he rescued [[Davros]] from the [[Nightmare Child]]. Emerging in the post-war universe, Davros created a [[New Dalek Empire]] which [[21st century Dalek invasion|invaded Earth]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'') Having saw [[time]], Caan was believed to have gone [[insanity|insane]]; infact, he had come to believe that the Daleks must be destroyed, setting in motion a chain of events which led to the destruction of the empire.

{{Jacobi|n=The Master}}, who had fought in the Time War, was overcome by [[fear]] after witnessing the Dalek Emperor seize the [[Cruciform]] and so fled the conflict, [[Chameleon Arch|making himself]] [[Yana|human]] so that he would not be found. ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'') He was ultimately discovered by the [[Tenth Doctor]], who believed that the two of them were the last surviving Time Lords.

([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sounds of Drum]]'') The ensuing confrontation ended with the Master mortally wounded and choosing to die rather than regenerate and be captured by the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'') However, the Master had made [[Potion of Life|arrangements]] for himself to be [[resurrection|resurrected]] which was only partly successful due to an attempt at sabotage by [[Lucy Saxon]], resulting in the Master living with dwindling [[life force]]. As well as coming into contact with the Doctor again, the Master was embroiled in Ultimate Sanction, leading to him returning to Gallifrey on the last day of the Time War as he confronted [[Rassilon (The End of Time)|Rassilon]].

Following the Master's regeneration, Missy found that the [[Eleventh Doctor]] had supposedly been killed by [[River Song]]. As such, she claimed herself to be the sole living Time Lord in the universe. After meeting River, Missy learnt that the Doctor had survived. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Bekdel Test (audio story)|The Bekdel Test]]'') Learning of the Doctors' part in relocating Gallifrey, Missy would later teasingly observe to the Twelfth Doctor that he had saved her, and that Gallifrey was just "collateral damage".

Like the Master, [[The Monk (The Black Hole)|the Monk]] had fled the war in fear of the Daleks, travelling to [[Earth]] and turning himself [[human]] to escape the conflict. To prevent detection by the [[Time Lord]]s, the Monk removed [[The Monk's TARDIS|his TARDIS]]' components, but didn't perform a careful job of removing them, badly damaging the TARDIS in the process. He still kept a connection to [[the Matrix]], to see what was going on. The Monk hid away in an [[abbey]] in [[England]] during the [[16th century]]. Through his connection to [[the Matrix]] he witnessed the disappearance of Gallifrey and its subsequent return to the universe. Trapped on Earth in one time zone, the Monk tried to raise Gallifrey's attention by meddling with time but only caught the attention of Missy, who left him stranded after plundering his TARDIS. Furious, the Monk sought to confront both Missy and the Doctor ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated (audio story)|Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated]]'') and ultimately escaped from his predicament.

==== Return of the Time Lords | === The Eye of Time === | ||
The [[Eye of Harmony|Eye of Time]], which had been possessed by the Time Lords, was lost during the "Fall" of Gallifrey. After the Daleks restored their race and empire through the [[New Dalek Paradigm]], the Eye later fell into their hands, so they returned to Skaro and restored the capital city of [[Kaalann]]. Under the leadership of a [[Emperor Dalek (City of the Daleks)|new Dalek Emperor]], the Daleks declared themselves the new Time Lords and planned to use the power of the eye to totally rewrite time to their designs. However, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]], after learning the Daleks had now exterminated humanity in [[1963]], travelled back to Skaro and prevented the Paradigm from ever using the Eye of Time, restoring the true timeline. ([[GAME]]: ''[[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'') | |||
Under the leadership of a [[Dalek Emperor (The Eternity Clock)|different emperor]], the New Dalek Paradigm obtained a fragment of the [[Eternity Clock]]. With this, the Daleks launched an invasion of Earth in [[2106]] and plotted to remove Gallifrey from time to become the new Time Lords, but the Doctor and his wife, [[River Song]], took the clock fragment from them, undoing the Earth invasion and preventing their further plans. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'') After their memory of the Doctor was [[Asylum Incident|wiped]] from the [[Pathweb]] for a period of time, the Daleks forgot, amongst other incidents, who had detonated the Moment.

Though it would be easy for the Lords of Time to restore themselves to the universe, Rassilon needed to figure out which universe was their actual home. Luckily for them, [[the Matrix]] found [[time field|cracks in a universe]] that could be used to enter it, although they needed to find the right point in history and place to do so. If they entered at an undesirable point or place, they would be spotted, and the Time War would simply begin once again. Using the last crack in time ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'') in the [[Christmas (town)|town of Christmas]] on the planet of [[Trenzalore]], they broadcasted [[The Question|the first question]] to the universe to draw the Doctor in. If the Doctor answered the question by saying [[The Doctor's aliases|his real name]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') the Time Lords would know they could safely return from their [[pocket universe]]. | Though it would be easy for the Lords of Time to restore themselves to the universe, Rassilon needed to figure out which universe was their actual home.
