Post-War universe

The post-War universe was the state of the universe after the end of the War in Heaven.

When the Eighth Doctor emerged from his century-long exile on Earth (PROSE: The Burning, Escape Velocity) after destroying Romana III's Gallifrey, (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell) he discovered that Gallifrey and the Time Lords had been completely wiped from history. (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street) Despite this, there still existed four remaining Time Lords, (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, Trading Futures, The Gallifrey Chronicles) though they were forced by their new circumstances to remove their second hearts that were connecting them to their disappeared homeworld. (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, Timeless)

Several other groups from the War survived its ending, including Faction Paradox and (COMIC: Political Animals) the Mayakai. (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, COMIC: Political Animals) The disappearance of the Time Lords from history had great consequences. For instance, time travel technology became more widespread throughout the universe. (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, Eater of Wasps, Trading Futures, The Book of the Still, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Camera Obscura) Rudimentary knowledge of time worked its way into eighteenth century Earth culture, including in groups like the Hellfire Club, the Freemasons, the Eriticy, and the Service. (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street) In 1774, American Freemasons fought Faction Paradox for control of Earth's history at King George III's 1774 mammoth hunt. (COMIC: Political Animals, Bêtes Noires & Dark Horses) Emboldened by their knew 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) 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...)

Close to the end of the universe, the four surviving elementals reigned over all of time and space as the Imperial Family. (PROSE: Father Time) The Klade blamed them for draining the universe of energy by starting the War; (COMIC: Miranda) the Family was overthrown in a Klade revolt. (PROSE: Father Time)
