Time Lords

The Time Lords constitute Gallifrey's governing body, serving as the supreme authority over temporal affairs. They enforce strict laws, including imprisonment of dangerous renegades like Salyavin on the prison planet Shada. Their governance balances cosmic neutrality with periodic interventions, though their methods often prioritize control over compassion. Their authority extends across the galaxy, with their judgments carried out through specialized agents. In this narrative, their shadow looms over the Doctor's urgency—Chronotis casually references their prison planet without fanfare, revealing both their legendary status and influence.
