|Paralleled with the term of "the Great Eye" for [[Eye of Harmony|the singularity]] at the source of their power. Similar to "Race Of Temporal Supremacy". The "Great" adjective may also evoke "the Great Houses". Most prominently, however, the [[w:c:lovecraft:Great Race of Yith|Great Race of Yith]] are the body-switching people of the planet [[Yith]] in [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s {{wi|The Shadow Out of Time}}; Yith is stated elsewhere in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The V Cwejes (short story)}} to have been colonised by the Superiors as part of the [[Nine Gallifreys|Nine Homeworlds project]]. Thus, the implication is that before being forced to abandon Yith and their bodies to transplant themselves into the familiar prehistoric Earth creatures seen in ''The Shadow Out of Time'', the Great Race were a population of Superiors. The "eternal race" of Yith was also discussed at length in the DWU in the ''[[P.R.O.B.E. (series)|P.R.O.B.E.]]'' audiobook [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Guardian At The Gate (audio story)}}, but the Gallifreyan connection was not explicitly refeferenced, and the "Great Race" moniker was not actually used. | |||
