The Gallifrey Timeline

Romana and Leela meet for the first time in Zagreus, it's early enough that Romana's not even aware of Leela's name or her reputation beyond being "the savage". There's a big jump between the two stories in retrospect because Romana trusts Leela enough to cover for her while she's elsewhere during the CIA's coup in Lungbarrow. If you wanted to smooth out the transition, you could theoretically place Lungbarrow in the middle of Gallifrey between A Blind Eye and Lies. Any later than that and you run into a continuity gaffe regarding Romana's scheme to open up the Academy to non-Gallifreyans. It has a nice sense of build up actually, all the little goings ons in that first series culminating in an attempted hostile takeover.

Ooh, boy... Tim Bradley , I admire your dedication. Gallifrey is only slightly less difficult to wrangle than the Dalek timeline(s) is/are. There are scenes from Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible which occur in the Dark Times and feature Pythia's own self-destruction. The Final Chapter is interesting because not only does it quickly feature Rassilon's first declaration of the Time Lords and the establishment of the Eye of Harmony, but the bulk of it is said to be set long into the future relative to the Eight Doctor. It's so far forward in fact, that he's considered a legend and a bogeyman by the Gallifreyans themselves. Little more than a myth.

I think Big Finish might already have that covered. The Apocalypse Element kind of acknowledges that the Doctor appears out-of-order by having Sixy tell Romana he was "wearing the right body, just not necessarily in the right order."

Ah right that makes sense, so it would just be an extra thing that they have already covered and explained. Thats cool

Thanks guys

*cracks fingers* Alrighty... Let's have a go at this.

The Infinity Doctors I'd place just after The Gallifrey Chronicles because the long-term consequences set up in that novel and the sense that he's retired from his wanderings to watch over Gallifrey for a time. The reconstitution process would have been long and there's no sense charging off from something so vital as the reestablishment of an entire world, particularly your own, without investing some of your time into monitoring its progress. Short hair or no short hair. As the New EDAs would show, Gallifrey is a lot more vulnerable now than it was previously. Weak enough that the Daleks turned their eyestalks towards time's caldera itself.

I have a personal theory that Death Comes to Time takes place at the far end of Gallifrey's timeline when the planet has long since turned to dust and there are little more than a handful of Time Lords left to uphold the mantle. The Kingmaker at Mount Plutarch also represents a power greater than the Gallifreyans themselves that we've yet to see in any other story, both on and off-screen. Micen Island at the heart of the Orion Nebula stands as testament to the dead where the Time Lords radically altered their beliefs to "serve the many", indicating that there has been a monumental cosmic upheaval at this point in time that necessitated such a change. Since the emergence of the Curator opened up the possibility of reiterated visages, I'm almost tempted to believe that this isn't the Seventh Doctor after all, but rather his final corporeal incarnation. The last one with a physical form before he became the Guardian of Justice or attended to other business elsewhere.

Ah... Well... Mmm... The Faction exist for the sole purpose of mucking all of this up. If we could tie them down to a singular timestream, I'd say that most of their encounters occur prior to The Ancestor Cell.

I just assume the Doctor lived through DCTT. All we see is a burnt umbrella. After DCTT, the Doctor gets up, retrieves his umbrella, and says goodbye to Ace.

So another little project of mine, a timeline of the Time Lords. This includes stories with agents acting on their behalf (usually the Doctor, K-9, Shayde or Leela). Some spoilers for the Gallifrey series (which is kinda unavoidable). This includes a lot of theorising about the implications of Enemy Lines for the Eighth Doctor Adventures novels. 

Gallifrey:
-Ancient Gallifrey: The era of the rule of the Pythia which sees the earliest time travel experiments by the Neo-Technologists, led by Rassilon, Omega and the Other. The experiments unleash the Yssgaroth (better known as the Great Vampires), leading to the Eternal War between Gallifrey and the Vampires. Upon the War’s conclusion Rassilon returns to Gallifrey and leads a revolution to overthrow the Pythia, with the last of her followers retreating to Karn.

-Rassilon Era: Rassilon founds Time Lord society, instituting the Houses, and leads the Time Lords into conflicts against the Racnoss, Hyperions and Nestenes, alongside the Fledgling Empires and the Alliance of Races. The very first TT capsules (TARDISes) are developed in this time. Rassilon’s paranoia grows over the course of his rule, resulting in greater authoritarian rule.

-The Fall of Gallifrey [Negated]: Echoes of the coming War lead to an attempted coup by the Adherents of Ohm and Romana pursuing more aggressive actions to safeguard Gallifrey, which inadvertently accelerate the outbreak of war.

At some point in the events leading to the fall of Gallifrey, Romana sends Braxiatel back in time to her regeneration where he alters events, negating this entire timeline.

Ooh now that’s a thought. I wonder if Rassilon’s regime wouldn’t have become a tyrannical if he’d had Omega to serve as a confidant? 

It’s also worth noting that Star Death is introduced by the fourth Doctor, so maybe the version of events in Star Death may be the ‘official’ version of events, perhaps hiding Rassilon’s role in the loss of Omega...
