The Clockworks

The Clockworks was a place of logic and reason maintained by Iris Wildthyme's people, (AUDIO: The Land of Wonder) who kept the multiverse structured and orderly. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!) Everything was watched and recorded from the Clockworks. (PROSE: Future Legend)

The capitol of the Clockworks was Saga City. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!) It was ruled by a council. (AUDIO: The Iris Wildthyme Appreciation Society) Spectacular forests grew at the heart of the cities in the Clockworks. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!)

The Lords Temporal were the most powerful race in the Clockworks. (PROSE: First Meetings)

History
Iris thought the people of the Clockworks were the oldest civilisation in the multiverse and rotten to the core. (PROSE: Iris Wildthyme and the Colonic in Space)

When the multiverse was still young, the people of the Clockworks were allied with the Sentients, the Modulars, the Recursives, the Binaries, and many more species. (PROSE: Elementary, My Dear Sheila)

She told Panda that she had lived as a child in the slums miles outside the Clockworks. (AUDIO: The Land of Wonder) According to other accounts, as a girl, Iris lived in the mountains of the Clockworks with her Aunts. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!, First Meetings, Iris at the V&A)

After Iris Wildthyme left the Obverse into the universe, the Clockworks followed her and remained on Hyspero for millennia while they waited for her to return to them. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!)

The fabled Key to the Clockworks, if assembled into a cube from its six segments, would allow the user to open the gateway between universes at will. (PROSE: Iris Wildthyme and the Unhappy Medium)

Behind the scenes

 * The residents of the Clockworks are occasionally referred to as "the Clockworks" by metonymy, or, more rarely, "Clockworkers", but they are never given a more definite species name. PROSE: First Meetings establishes that the "Lords Temporal" are the most powerful race in the Clockworks; Stuart Douglas would release a reedited version of the story, When Iris Met Billy, for Obverse Books' A Second Target for Tommy, revealing they are the Time Lords. In other Iris Wildthyme stories, including PROSE: The Scarlet Empress, PROSE: Verdigris, and AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom, Iris and her House of Aunts have been identified as coming from Gallifrey.
 * It has never been specified if the Clockworks is a country, a planet, or even a galaxy. The term could be a description of a domain through time and space, similar to Faction Paradox 's contextualization of the "Web of Time" concept, the Spiral Politic. The earliest version of this context was seen in PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet; the Carnival Queen called the Time Lords' version of the universe the "Majestic Clockwork."
