Time Lords

This page chronicles stories involving the **Time Lords** in the order in which they experienced them. Therefore the following timeline should not be seen as an accurate reading/listening order as some stories may have framing devices which take place later in the timeline of the species.

Most BBC licensed Doctor Who content is counted on this timeline, including but not limited to the TV series itself, Big Finish Productions, BBC Books and Virgin Books material. However intentionally parodic content such as the Dr Men books, various Titan Comics backups and Doctor Whoah! should not be added to this particular chronology. Likewise fanfiction and charity publications will also be avoided.

## Unplaced

* SHORT: *The Scrolls of Rassilon: Days 1-117*

Pandak is President. Rassilon is in his first (by this account male) incarnation. He recently led a fleet of bowships to defeat the Vampire Horde and win the Eternal war, while Omega recently created the Hand of Omega. Rassilon has secretly invented the induction barriers, which he uses as part of his plan to usurp the presidency from Pandak. The Gallifreyans already utilise time in a crude manner, such as that of the time scoop, but have yet to develop any more selective manipulations like that of a TARDIS. Rassilon and Omega plan to use the Hand on the Q star Polyphilos to create a supply of chronons to the planet. Rassilon institutes a ban on the Game of Rassilon due to the potential detrimental effects of the blast. A biologist called Thremix develops a virus which will grant Gallifreyans a massively extended lifespan of 10-12,000 years as well as the unintended side effect of total bodily regeneration upon death. It will however only work on an estimated 5% of the population.
