Kotturuh crystal Appearances Talk

Kotturuh crystals, (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead [+]Steve Cole, Time Lord Victorious (BBC Books, 2020).) sometimes referred to as Judgement Stones, (WC: Incoming Transmission - February Update Video [+]Time Lord Victorious (2024)., GAME: Worlds Apart [+]Doctor Who card games (Reality+, 2021).) were found on the planet Mordeela. The power from within the crystals gave the Kotturuh the power to deliver the gift of death to other species. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead [+]Steve Cole, Time Lord Victorious (BBC Books, 2020).) Inyit told the Ninth Doctor and Ikalla that according to legend the crystals were so powerful that the Kotturuh had to deliver death or the power of the crystals could potentially destroy all life in the universe. (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass [+]Una McCormack, Time Lord Victorious release order (BBC Books, 2020).)

When charged, the crystals had the ability to negate the effects of the Kotturuh’s power and thus protect someone from their judgement. Professor Fallomax utilised this in her lifeshrouds, collecting crystals via mining drones on Mordeela, though was unable to make the crystals last longer than a couple of hours even with the Tenth Doctor’s help. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead [+]Steve Cole, Time Lord Victorious (BBC Books, 2020).)

Inyit, the last of the Kotturuh, had a crystal in her possession on Birinji, which she entrusted to the Doctor to use during the Defence of Gallifrey. (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass [+]Una McCormack, Time Lord Victorious release order (BBC Books, 2020).) A Kotturuh crystal was an exhibit in the Verbier Museum of the Impossible. (PROSE: Canaries [+]Dave Rudden, The Wintertime Paradox (BBC, 2020).) The Dalek Prime Strategist of the Restoration Empire had integrated the last remaining Kotturuh crystals in his possession into his unit to power a temporal shift to escape the Time Vortex. (PROSE: Exit Strategy [+]James Goss, Time Lord Victorious (Eaglemoss Collections, 2020).)

By February 2024, UNIT's visual interface contained an information card on Judgement Stones, classed as one of the TLV Cards. Like all other TLV Cards, it was updated with new firsthand information downloaded by Sasha from a Great Vampire coffin ship after she was briefly sent back to the Dark Times by the Entity. This enabled it and the other TLV Cards to be reclassified as Level Three. (WC: Incoming Transmission - February Update Video [+]Time Lord Victorious (2024).)
