Dark Time


 * Not to be confused with the Dark Times; a period in the history of the Universe.

The Dark Time was the name of a period of time on Gallifrey referring to the time leading up to Pythia's curse on Gallifrey. The Dark Time encompasses what is sometimes known as the 'time of superstition'. During this time (following Pythia's curse) the Gallifreyans' colleges are formed and work is begun towards investigating power for the time travel experiments. (It would however be later after the Dark Time that the Eye of Harmony was formed). (NA: Timewyrm: Revelation, Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible)

This is also the time during in which beings were placed in the Death Zone using the Time Scoop. (DW: The Five Doctors)
