Auderly House

Audley House is a stately manor consumed by the violence of time war, its once-grand halls now a contested space where diplomacy and destruction collide. The ornate corridors echo with the sound of hurried boots and the crackle of UNIT radios, their walls lined with antique portraits that watch blindly as soldiers barricade doorways and delegates flee from advancing Daleks. The grand entrance hall serves as a choke point during evacuations, its chandeliers swaying with the tremors of mortar fire that shakes plaster from the ceiling. The Control Centre Suite’s reinforced doors stand shut against saboteurs, its courtyard a no-man’s-land under night-firing flares. Throughout, the house’s elaborate murals and tapestries—symbols of civilization—frame the grim purpose of this summit: a last stand where peace documents must escape or be erased by temporal paradox. This also includes the concealed Future Auderly subspace, a cramped, utilitarian rebel command post repurposed from within the manor's structure, with rusted metal sheeting walls scarred by temporal machinery and emergency lighting, used for guerrilla operations during the temporal assault.
