Publisher's summary
"Sing about the past again, and sing that same old song.  Tell me what you know, so I can tell you that you're wrong."

Gallifrey. The Doctor's home planet. For twenty thousand centuries the Gallifreyans have been the most powerful race in the cosmos. They have circumnavigated infinity and eternity, harnessed science and conquered death. They are the Lords of Time, and have used their powers carefully.

But now a new force is unleashed, one that is literally capable of anything. It is enough to give even the Time Lords nightmares. More than that: it is enough to destroy them.

It is one of their own. Waiting for them at the end of the universe.

Featuring the Doctor, this adventure celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of Doctor Who.

Gallifrey

 * The Seal of Rassilon is an omniscate.
 * The Doctor's rooms have six sides. They hold many bookshelves, a wooden globe of Sol Three and a wine rack with a dozen of the galaxy's finest vintages. On the mantel is an ormolu clock. There are also two paintings: one computer painted, the second hand painted (by the Doctor) of a woman holding a scroll with the words "Death is but a door" written in High Gallifreyan. Speaking those words opens a door to a zero room where thousands of candles burn, honouring the woman in the painting.

 * The Doctor offers tea to guardsmen Raimor and Peltroc.
 * The Doctor has a cat named Wycliff.
 * Ohm is an ancient Time Lord god.
 * Tyler's Folly is on the High Council agenda to be discussed as there are "disturbances" on the planet.
 * The Time Lords know of names that will appear in history books of the future: Varnax, Faction Paradox, Catavolcus, the Timewyrm; these are threats that the Time Lords are destined to survive.
 * The Time Lords know of a war against an implacable enemy, that will result in the destruction of Gallifrey, though even after several millennia of knowing about this they have not decided what action to take.
 * The Founders of Gallifrey are six individuals: Rassilon, Omega, the Other and three others.
 * Qqaba is a Population III star.
 * The Doctor uses a toy tafelshrew to distract a guard to get to his TARDIS.

 * The Doctor is one of the highest ranking Prydonians.
 * Larna is one of the Doctor's most promising students. She develops a relationship with the Doctor.
 * Lord Savar lost his eyes a couple of regenerations ago. In his current body he has multiple personalities, two distinct ones in fact. His current body is also an accomplished telepath.
 * The Magistrate wears black. He's the Doctor's oldest friend and sparring partner and has a goatee.

Gallifreyan locations

 * There is a clock tower in the Old Harbour that rings out bells throughout the Gallifreyan day.
 * The clockwork figures inside the clock tower have developed sentience and may be the most intelligent things on Gallifrey.
 * The Citadel is patrolled by the Watchmen.
 * In the southern corner of the Panopticon is a statue of Omega wearing a space suit like the one he wore at Qqaba.
 * If you enter the Panopticon from the north you would walk under the legs of Rassilon. Rassilon is (always) portrayed as wearing leather sandals.
 * Another statue is of Apeiron, who wears spiky combat boots.
 * The Citadel dates from the time of Rassilon and Omega; all Time Lords live in the Citadel, which is dimensionally transcendental.
 * Olyesti is one of the Three Minute Cities east of the Citadel, reachable by rail.
 * The Tomb of the Uncertain Soldier contains a body of a Gallifreyan soldier who fought in the Time Wars and chose at the critical moment to wipe out his own timeline.

Individuals

 * The Doctor owns a (possibly Terran) cat called Wycliff.
 * General Sontar is the mastermind behind the two thousand year war with the Isari. He is a clone like the other Sontarans, but he is a full duplicate and not just a genetic clone; he has the original Sontar's memories.

Locations

 * The Needle is what used to be Savar's TARDIS, stretched out across time and space by a black hole.
 * Hindmost is a planetoid so far from Gallifrey that a TARDIS would have to be re-engineered to be able to make the journey there.
