Following the end of the War, wherein Gallifrey was excised from the timeline in some way or another, a new form of reality emerged, characterised by a lack of the majority of participants of the War, although some accounts held that one side or another rose to power again, albeit much later.

Gallifrey destroyed
According to some accounts, the Eighth Doctor ended the War (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War, The Ancestor Cell, COMIC: ) either using the Moment (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War, COMIC: ) or by thwarting the Faction Paradox invasion of Gallifrey. (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell, The Eyeless)

According to the accounts respective to the Faction Paradox invasion of Gallifrey,, the Eighth Doctor would go onto have more adventures with companions Fitz Kreiner, Anji Kapoor, and Trix MacMillian (PROSE: The Burning, Escape Velocity (novel), Time Zero, ect.) before his regeneration into his next incarnation, who was possibly a man with big ears). ([[PROSE: The Tomorrow Windows, TV: Rose)

However, other accounts that delt with the Eighth Doctor's destruction of Gallifrey placed it at the end of his life, immediately before he regenerated into the Ninth Doctor, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)) whilst others still were not overly clear about what point in life the Eighth Doctor destroyed Gallifrey. (COMIC: )

Gallifrey saved
Other accounts stated that rather than the Eighth Doctor destroying Gallifrey, his successor the War Doctor saved it by uniting with both his prior and subsequent selves, mainly the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

Time Lords
Following the apparent destruction of Gallifrey, the Ninth Doctor considered himself to be the "Last of the Time Lords" (TV: ), as from his perspective he remembered having destroyed them all, along with Gallifrey. (TV: ) However, according to a series of accounts, the Eighth Doctor had previously, after having destroyed Gallifrey, interacted with both the other three main surviving Time Lords, and various others such as Chloe, Erasmus, and Marnal. The man with the rosette, being an incarnation of the Master, was one of the four surviving elementals. On multiple occasions, he interacted with the Eighth Doctor, (PROSE: ) and later joined the Imperial Family at the end of the universe where he was believed to have died. (PROSE:, COMIC: ) Later, another incarnation of the Master who had escaped the War met the Tenth Doctor at the end of the universe. (TV: ) However, there were multiple discrepencies in these Masters' lives, including the fact that the Master the Tenth Doctor met reportedly fought in the War (AUDIO:, ect.), whereas the man with the rosette's timeline appeared to be a version of another incarnation where the War had never happened. However, one account featuring the Thirteenth Doctor and a small splinter of Faction Paradox claimed that the War had been erased from history, (PROSE: ) which most accounts not concerning the Eighth Doctor or the Faction held not to be true, instead claiming that it had happened, but that it was inaccessible to the post-War inhabitants, (TV:, ect) due to being time locked, effectively in another reality. (PROSE: )

Faction Paradox
Although the initial account dealing with the Faction Paradox invasion of Gallifrey claimed that the Faction had been "wiped from history for ever" (PROSE:, later accounts showed they survived, at least partially, as both the Clock-People in the Eigth Doctor's era, (PROSE: )  Siblings Same and Different in the Thirteenth Doctor's era, (PROSE: ) and proper Faction members in North America. (COMIC: )

Daleks
When looking into the Tomorrow Windows, the Eighth Doctor saw Daleks in a ruined city. (PROSE: Nevertheless, when the Ninth Doctor later saw a Dalek, he considered it an "impossibility" (TV: ) as from his persepective, he had just destroyed them all. (PROSE:, )

The Tenth Doctor would later encounter the Daleks on multiple occasions, although he would always almost totally defeat them. (TV:, )

Emergence of new groups
Emboldened by their new knowledge, several groups or individuals went so far as to try to fill the void left by the Time Lords by seizing control of history. The Onihr scavenged fragments of time travel technology for thousands of years in their quest to discover the secrets of time travel and become Lords of Time. (PROSE: Trading Futures) Sabbath, an agent of the Service who briefly became a servant of the Great Houses in the War, (AUDIO: In the Year of the Cat) stole the Eighth Doctor's second heart to gain some Time Lord abilities, (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street) and he planned to use them to replace Gallifrey and the Time Lords with Earth and humanity. (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, Timeless) In their own quest to become the new Lords of Time, the Council of Eight eliminated their enemies from their fortress in the Time Vortex by manipulating both Sabbath (PROSE: Sometime Never...) and the Doctor. (PROSE: Anachrophobia) However, they were defeated by the Doctor working together with Sabbath and Miranda. (PROSE: Sometime Never...)

The Council of Eight were the most successful of the post-War era's new powers in creating their own web of time. Their manipulations took advantage of reality's instability to instigate a multiverse collapse which briefly left the Council's timeline as the only reality in existence. (PROSE: Timeless, Sometime Never...)

Re-emergence of Wartime groups in their entirety
In the Eleventh Doctor's lifetime, the Daleks re-arose as a major power following their aquisition of the progenitor, (TV: ) even having the ability to snatch the Doctor and his companions out of space and into their parliament (TV: )), and later living on a reonstructed Skaro with Davros, (TV: ) who had previously been shown to have died following the end of the War. (TV: )

Following the Eleventh Doctor's part in saving Gallifrey, the Time Lords, in their pocket universe, called out The Question to him in an attempt to verify the safety in them re-entering the main universe. Despite not answering the Question, which was "Doctor Who?" - the Time Lords still returned (TV: ) to the end of the universe (TV: ), in some way still in their own buble universe. Later, the Spy Master razed Gallifrey to the ground. (TV[: )
