Theory:Timeline - Time Lords

This page lists appearances of Time Lords other than the Doctor and (usually) the Master in chronological order. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed as much as possible, but still with exceptions, that Time Lords meet in the same order. These cases will be noted. In many cases there are sequences of stories from different Time Lords' perspectives, where individual stories can not be compared.

Looms
Any story where looms are the dominant method of reproduction on Gallifrey must take place before PROSE: Lungbarrow.

President
Any story involving Romana as president must take place after PROSE: Lungbarrow and before AUDIO: Reborn, or after AUDIO: Ascension and before PROSE: Engines of War (novel).

Series basics
