Under aliases or something, could "the Foundling" also be one? I know it was more a descriptor, but it seemed to be used as a name for the Child in the same vein as other Time Lord title-names. Spitballing again, mostly. [[User:Meganerd18|Meganerd18]] [[User talk:Meganerd18|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 08:43, July 26, 2020 (UTC) | |||

In [[Special:Diff/3389523]] [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] removed this section from [[Timeless Child#Legacy]] for the reason that it is "obvious speculation and fanon relating to books published two decades before ''The Timeless Children''": | |||
:[[Richard Francis Burton]] once guessed that the [[Great House]]s ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') of the Time Lords ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', et. al) had achieved the power of regeneration by modifying themselves with the "taint" of the [[Yssgaroth]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') much like how the account involving [[Tecteun]] and the Timeless Child involved the former taking biodata from the child and applying it to Time Lord DNA. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'') Indeed, the vampires active in the universe were searching for a [[Child-That-Was-Taken]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Out of the Box (short story)|Out of the Box]]'') | |||
Contra Tybort, I think this ''is'' relevant to the page, since it contextualizes the Timeless Child storyline in what was previously established about the non-Gallifreyan origin of regeneration, which is surely relevant to the Child's "legacy". But I'm open to other points of view, so I'm hoping to hear input from other users. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 15:36, 17 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
