Moreover, just because the Timelords happened to be mostly a law-abiding peaceful society throughout the old seasons making Shadow Proclamation's appearance redundant doesn't mean it's not possible that they existed. I'm sure there are plenty of people in the world who haven't run across legal issues with the police in their entire life, doesn't mean the police can't exist. If there had been a murder in Buckingham, the police would investigate, but if there's no murder, the police still had the authority despite not appearing. When the Buckingham is tear down for whatever reason a thousand year from now, the police or police-like organization directly related to this one would look at the place and the people in it as legendary. --[[Special:Contributions/222.166.181.49|222.166.181.49]] 23:16, November 27, 2011 (UTC) | Moreover, just because the Timelords happened to be mostly a law-abiding peaceful society throughout the old seasons making Shadow Proclamation's appearance redundant doesn't mean it's not possible that they existed.

It is specifically stated in The Brilliant Book 2011 and implied in Amy's Choice that the Shadow Proclamation authorised the Time Lord's time-travelling. I agree that, when compared with the Shadow Architect's statements in Journey's End, it seems a bit unlikely, but it deserves at least a mention if an official source stated it. The other thing is that The Trial of a Time Lord implies that the Doctor's era on Gallifrey (one where time-travel in TARDISes is common) takes place billions of years in the future, and the Proclamation seen in Journey's End is in the year 2009. Thus it is possible that the Proclamation later came into contact with the once legendary Time Lords when they became more social with other species and began mapping the Time Vortex or whatever, and began to enforce the Laws of Time. Although the Time Lords did definately uphold the Laws of Time, and quite possibly invented them, it now seems as though it is in fact the Proclamation that makes them enforce this. I also think the fact that the Proclamation oversaw time-travel correlates with the taxing of the Navarinos in Delta and the Bannermen.
