The War King's Homeworld


 * I've fixed the structure of this page, but a lot of information still needs to be added. Feedback would be well appreciated! Cousin Ettolrahc ☎  12:45, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

From 6 years before the War broke out, until the fall of the Eleven-Day Empire, the War King ruled a version of the Homeworld thought to be the original.

Origin
The Book of the War admitted that it "assume[ed] that the Homeworld generally percieved to be the original, was in fact the original", whilst admiting this was "by no means certain" (PROSE: ) However, numerous other accounts help seemingly distinct Gallifreys to be the original. (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell, Alien Bodies, et al.) Most notably, Romana III's Gallifrey occupied the original coordinates (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell), although The Book of the War justified this by suggesting that the "original Homeworld could have been moved" as a means of deception against the Homeworld's enemy. The Book of the War also speculated that any of the eight cloneworlds could easily believe themselves to be the original, offering an explanation as to why multiple Gallifreys claim to be the original. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

Lead-up to the War
After Lady President Romana III (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon) mysteriously disappeared from this Homeworld, which it was speculated was because she moved to another Homeworld to create the illusion that her world is the original, as opposed to this one, the new 412th President, 95 years before the War, supported the interventionists' idea that the War is an impossibility, as any possible enemy could just be neutralised with ease. (PROSE: Crimes Against History second edition) Because of this, 76 years before the War, the renegade who would become the War King forced his way into the President's office to warn him he of the Enemy and future War. However, the President re-affirmed his denial of any possibility of a threatening Enemy, even when the rest of the ruling Houses were convinced. Forty-five years later, and 50 years before the War, the renegade returned yet again and was immediately arrested, and during the trial the President declared the Faraway Declaration, intending to set up a colony on the planet Faraway, allegedly the homeworld of "the Enemy", to disprove of their existence, and left Umbaste as a temporary President. (PROSE: The Book of the War) However, the 412th President never arrived, being turned into the First Message from the Enemy, and so Umbaste stayed the President, with the renegade who would become the War King acting as his Magistrate/advisor. Once Umbaste's biodata and mind was destroyed as he continually repeated the word "One", the to-be War King willingly accepted all of the duties of the presidency, but refused to use the title "President", instead inventing the term "War King", claiming "the new War Era wil need a new kind of leadership". It was around this time that the Great Houses' timeline became intertwined with posthumanity, which some speculated was due to the Enemy making alliances there. Similarily, the Houses began the controversial decision to make alliances with time-active lesser species. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

Lead by the War King in the War
Near the beggining of the War, some kind of deal was founded between Compassion and the War King, creating the 103-forms (PROSE: The Book of the War), starting with Antipathy. (PROSE: Of the City of the Saved...) Soon after, the Enemy invades this Homeworld itself, which is what finally convinces the majority of the House members that the War is a serious threat.

Fate
An account which treated this Homeworl as the original stated that after the "Fall of the Homeworld", the remaining eight cloneworlds which had, by that point, created more cloneworlds still, re-open communications, creating a new "united front". (PROSE: Crimes Against History second edition) Indeed, Homunculette claimed, during Qixotl's auction, to have trained at Gallifrey XII after the fall of the original Gallifrey. (PROSE: Alien Bodies)

Another account dealing with the "fall of Gallifrey" show the War being completely undone following it. (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell)
