Even before [[anchoring of the thread|taking control]] of [[history]], the [[Great House]]s of [[Gallifreyan|those]] who would soon become the [[Time Lord]]s sent [[pioneer]]s to explore "'''deep time'''", or "'''deep-time'''". | {{stub}}{{you may|Deep Time (novel)|n1=the novel}}Even before [[anchoring of the thread|taking control]] of [[history]], the [[Great House]]s of [[Gallifreyan|those]] who would soon become the [[Time Lord]]s sent [[pioneer]]s to explore "'''deep time'''", or "'''deep-time'''". | ||
Ancient Gallifreyan [[Patience]]'s husband, seemingly [[The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)|a version of the Doctor before the "First"]], was "a pioneer and leader among [the Doctor's] people, one of the first Gallifreyans to enter the [[Time Vortex]] after it was discovered". He notably "led an expedition into deep time", returning with "travellers' tales of monsters and lost civilisations". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'') As recounted in ''[[The Book of the War]]'', prior to the [[anchoring of the thread]], "early deep-time explorations performed by the [[Great House]]s' pioneers" showed that there were "''things'' at work in the formative future, things which simply couldn't be classified or even monitored by the Houses' own technology". This contributed to the Great Houses' decision to become [[Time Lord|lords of history]].

The [[Rassilon Imprimatur]] was responsible for mapping Time Lords' [[biodata]] onto the vortex as pure [[mathematics]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference (novel)|Interference]]'') which protected them from deeptime phenomena. When [[Umbaste]] dropped his bio-imprimaturs and exposed himself to the [[caldera]], he spent a year in a [[fugue state]]. | |||
Having "deep-time memory" meant a person could remember events from past iterations for history, even if they had been [[Palimpsest|overwritten]]. This was the only way that some agents of the Great Houses could remember the academy on [[the Homeworld]] which the [[Celestis]] later transformed into [[Mictlan]]. | |||
At the start of the [[War in Heaven]], forces of both [[the Homeworld]] and [[the Enemy]] emerged from deep-time enclaves to initiate their attacks. During the War [[House Arpexia]]'s specialists created more deep-time strategies and [[weapon]]s systems than any of the other Houses.
