my adventure at the last great frost fair of london with river song in 1814

(This is all my own writing so please do not steal it i did my research of the last great frost fair of 1814 to come up with this. I hope you enjoy it)

 A frost fair was a celebration held on the surface of the River Thames when it froze over. Carnival festivities, shows, games, ice skating, shopping and other celebratory events were held on the open surface of the ice.

The last proper freezing of the River Thames in London took place in 1814.The frost set in at the start of January, and by the end of the month, the River was frozen solid an elephant was led across the Thames by Black friars Bridge which would soon be demolished an the new london bridge built in its place to demonstrate the safety of the ice. Hoardes of traders and entertainers rushed to set up shop, and the fair was in full-swing. It was shorter than many, as the solid ice lasted only a week. The last great frost fair of london begun on Feb 1st to the 4th in 1814, this was to be the last frost fair. The climate was growing milder; also, old London Bridge was demolished in 1831 and replaced with a new bridge with wider arches, allowing the tide to flow more freely; additionally, the river was embanked in stages during the 19th century, which also made the river less likely to freeze.

 River and i were to spend those 4 days having as much fun as we could from tasting food and drink to ice skating and singing on the frozen river of the Thames. During those 4 days i was to bring the musician Stevie Wonder to sing for her under neath the newly built London bridge that was the replacement from the recently demolished black friers bridge.

while she awaited for my return from the future with Stevie she was to have a number of small adventures while waiting for me to return though whenever i asked her what she had been up to all she would respond with was her usual word spoilers. Like river i keep a diary of all of our meetings and adventures since she is my future and i am her past. i also keep a written record of all my adventures with or without her or companions at any given time. once the frost fair came to an end i returned Stevie Wonder back to his own time and Dr song back to her storm cage prison cell before heading off on a new unknown adventure.

The eye of Orion

(info from tardis wiki)

The Eye of Orion was known to be one of the most tranquil places in the universe. The 5th doctor's former companion Tegan likened it to "Earth after a thunderstorm." The Fifth Doctor was said to have said that "it achieved its calming effects from the "high bombardment of positive ions." On this same occasion after an encounter with the master and kamelion while both Tegan and Turlough were wandering around the planet the doctor updated the tardis console. Soon after stepping out of the newly-refurbished TARDIS, the Doctor experienced "cosmic angst", before discovering that his past selves were being separated from him. The trio returned to the eye and were about to play cricket when a Raston Warrior Robot, delivered by Ryoth's use of a Time Scoop, attacked them. They hid behind rubble until they were joined by the Eighth Doctor. Using the principle of Buridan's ass, they approached the robot with an equal distant between them and the robot. Confused as to whom to target and their similarity, the robot deactivated.

During his 6th incarnation the doctor stated that its beautiful moonset was the "ideal tonic for the weary time traveller" The Sixth Doctor delighted in bombarding his companions with tales of the Eye, but had difficulty actually going there. It would have been the first destination to which the post-regenerative Sixth Doctor would have taken Peri, but he had trouble remembering the co-ordinates Later in their travels, Peri was so tired of his hype she preemptively blocked the suggestion of the Eye as a suitable holiday spot; "I've heard all about that elusive place once too often." She suggested that the Eye had no native life-forms and that even tourists were scarce. When the Doctor described Andromeda as having "some of the most magical sights in the entire universe: astral starbursts creating a myriad celestial bodies against a timeless royal blue backdrop", Peri said he always described the Eye of Orion in precisely the same way. Likewise the Sixth Doctor made several promises to take Evelyn Smythe to the Eye, but never managed to to. In one of the two accounts of Melanie Bush meeting Evelyn, the then-former companion Evelyn specifically asked that he take her home by way of the Eye. Mel, for her part, was the only companion of the Doctor ever described as having actually visited the Eye.

 The Seventh Doctor and Ace sat and meditated on the Eye of Orion during their search for the Timewyrm.

Martha Jones may have visited the Eye, as well. She wrote that it had been a thriving holiday resort, but after the Last Great Time War was converted into a shrine of the War, with only a small memorial, nameless due to the many who died in the war. At this point, the only other structures were scattered ruins. During its time as a shrine to the War, the Eye of Orion was still and quiet, covered in ruins, grass and mist. The Tenth Doctor apparently imparted details about the Time War to Martha whilst there.

 After defeating House, the Eleventh Doctor suggested to Rory that they go to "somewhere restful" like the Eye of Orion, but admitted that he wasn't terribly "good at restful". He left it up to the TARDIS to choose whether the Eye was where he needed to go. The TARDIS set a course and dematerialised, but it was unclear whether they made it to the Eye on this occasion.

My Tardis

 (info from wiki )

The Type 40 — or, formally, the Type 40 time travel capsule — was the class of TARDIS to which the Doctor's TARDIS belonged.

Information: Little was actually known about the type, aside from the example provided by the Doctor's TARDIS itself. However, because of the Doctor's penchant for changing the configuration of his machine — he impulsively added a found tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator for additional shielding and doubtless made other ad hoc additions — it was impossible to say what the qualities of the standard Type 40 actually were, and how it specifically compared to other types.

 Obsolete: The one quality on which most of the Doctor's Time Lord contemporaries agreed was that Type 40s were antiques. At one time or other, the Monk, the Master, and the Rani all described the Doctor's TARDIS as undesirably old. Romana, likely the youngest of the Doctor's contemporaries, indicated that the type was no longer on the syllabus at the Time Lord Academy. Indeed, once when the Fourth Doctor returned to Gallifrey, Commander Hilred called the type "obsolete" and noted that all had been pulled from service. Professor Chronotis, who was clearly of an older generation than the Doctor, claimed that Type 40s first came out when he was a boy.

 Other distinctive qualities: Exactly 305 were said to have been grown and officially registered with the Gallifreyan authorities. All were installed with the Record of Rassilon. According to Romana, only the Type 40s were so equipped.

 other information: The Doctor's TARDIS was not always referred to as a "Type 40". Initially, there was no suggestion that the TARDIS was anything other than a unique craft. However, with the broadcast of The Time Meddler, the notion was seeded that, like cars and other devices, TARDISes were produced with mark numbers. The Doctor's TARDIS was then called a Mark I, while the Monk's was a superior Mark IV. Many fans have retconned this early Hartnell model number with the later "Type 40" by suggesting that the Doctor's TARDIS was a "Type 40, Mark I", while the Monk's was a "Type 40, Mark IV". There is, however, no dialogue which calls for such an assumption. The actual type numbers of other Time Lords' TARDISes has never been given in televised stories. However, other type numbers have been mentioned in other media. Whilst filming with the wooden box (TARDIS), the actors have to be careful with the fragile construction. One of the Doors of the TARDIS does not close properly. Look out for it next time you get a close up on the doors!

different Tardis's

 (info from wiki )

his is a general article on a type of vessel. For discussion of the vehicle used by the Doctor, see The Doctor's TARDIS and TARDIS A TARDIS or TT Capsule was the main kind of space-time vehicle used by the Time Lords.

A TARDIS was grown from coral, a process that could take many centuries.

Name: "TARDIS" was an acronym. Susan told Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright that she had "made up the name 'TARDIS' from the initials" of the full name, "Time And Relative Dimension In Space".

 It was once indicated that she gave the Doctor the idea of the acronym when he was possibly the Other.

 Although some Time Lords, like Castellan Spandrell and Romana I, utilised the more generic name "TT capsule", others were perfectly familiar with Susan's supposed acronym. Some beings on the fringes of Time Lord society, like the Sisterhood of Karn, also knew the acronym without being prompted by the Doctor or his companions. There was a slight discrepancy as to the precise meaning of the acronym. Vicki pluralized the "dimension" when she explained the term to Steven, making it "Dimensions". This interpretation seemed to hold for a time, being used by several subsequent companions and Doctors.

Nevertheless, the singular Dimension, may have been "more correct", as the Doctor's fifth, eighth, ninth and tenth incarnations — as well as their respective companions — consistently preferred the original, singular form, as did the Doctor's TARDIS itself when its matrix was transplanted into Idris. The "dedication plaque" in the Doctor's TARDIS also referred to the ship as "Time and Relative Dimension in Space", favouring the singular form.

 Flight: TARDISes usually moved through time and space by "disappearing there and reappearing here" a process known as "de- and re-materialisation". This was controlled by a component called the dematerialisation circuit. They also could fly through space like conventional spacecraft, but doing so for prolonged periods could damage to the ship, at least in the case of the Doctor's TARDIS.

 During operation, a distinctive grinding and whirring sound was usually heard. River Song once demonstrated a TARDIS was capable of materialising silently, teasing the Doctor that the noise was actually caused by leaving the brakes on. Other, newer TARDISes, flown by other pilots (such as the Master and the Rani) made the same sound in the course of their normal operation; the Minyans' computer recognised the sound as associated with Time Lord ships. The Doctor himself materialised his TARDIS more than once without making the distinctive noise.

This sound was also made by other devices: SIDRATs, a craft similar to TARDISes used by the War Lords; a Time Lord who appeared to the Doctor (without using any visible means of transport) to warn him of the appearance of the Master; when the Time Lords provided the Doctor with a new dematerialisation circuit, it appeared on a table making this sound (since this was the part of the TARDIS which controlled its materialisations, it may have been operating under its own power; and when the Doctor modified Skagra's invisible spaceship to fly like a TARDIS, again, this sound was heard.

 When a TARDIS materialised, it could sometimes result in strong wind and small tremors, enough to shake wine glasses, in the area where it appeared.

 If a TARDIS materialised in a space occupied by another object, that object might appear inside the TARDIS. Once, the Doctor landed an incomplete TARDIS in his own TARDIS and on top of an Ood; the Ood was atomised. (DW: The Doctor's Wife) Conversely, a TARDIS could dematerialise while leaving its occupants behind. If a TARDIS landed in the same space and time as another TARDIS, a time ram could occur, destroying both TARDISes, their occupants and even cause a black hole that would destroy the universe. However, time rams could be avoided by materialising inside the other TARDIS. This act itself also had inherent dangers, including space loops.

Types: TARDISes were of two broad categories — exploratory and military. Of the two, TARDISes without armaments were apparently more common.

 Exploratory: Most TARDISes were used for the observation of various places and times. This kind of TARDIS underwent much modification over the years. Each new model received a distinct number to differentiate it from other models. The numerical scheme was seemingly simple; the higher the number, the later the design had been produced. However, two types of numbering schemes may have been employed. The Monk called his version a "Mark 4", and the First Doctor's reaction seemed to suggest that he had a lower-numbered model. Subsequent incarnations and other Time Lords called the Doctor's TARDIS a "Type 40". It is also possible that each type had several marks. Thus, both the Monk and the Doctor might have had "Type 40s", the Monk's a later version of a Type 40.

Whatever the case, TARDISes were generally referred to using the nomenclature Type X. For instance, the Second Doctor, while working for the Celestial Intervention Agency, was briefly assigned a Type 97 TARDIS. The fifth incarnation of the Doctor once remarked that he should have upgraded to a Type 57 TARDIS. On another occasion, he noted that a Type 70 would allow him to break through a temporal distortion grid, but that his Type 40 was not cut out for such a "brute force approach". In his eighth incarnation, he encountered the Type 103, which appeared to be a near-human.

 By the time of the Doctor's fourth life, the entire Type 40 line had been retired from use.  This policy ostensibly helped the Time Lords police time travel by reducing the total number of TT capsules in use at a given moment in time. Policing was further assisted by ensuring that individual units of the same model had the same key. Thus the Castellan's guards were able to easily affect entry into the Doctor's TARDIS. (DW: The Invasion of Time)

 Military: On more than one occasion, the Doctor encountered heavily armed battle TARDISes carrying time torpedoes, developed during his fifth incarnation or earlier.

Features and functions: Dimensionally transcendental: The TARDIS seen from the outside in. One of the key features of a TARDIS was that the interior existed in a dimension different from the exterior. The main application of this concept was that it was a different size on the inside than the out. With the exception of Iris Wildthyme and Professor Chronotis' TARDISes, this meant that they were bigger on the inside than the outside. The Fourth Doctor once explained the phenomenon by using two boxes, one smaller than the other,. He placed the larger one down and moving away from it so that the big box looked as if it could fit within the small box. He explained that if the big box could be accessed from the small box it would be bigger on the inside. Once the Time Lords realised that, it was a small feat making them bigger on the inside than the outside suggested.

 Chameleon circuit: One feature of all TARDISes was their ability to blend into their surroundings once they landed. If working properly, a chameleon circuit would assess the surroundings just before arrival and change the exterior to resemble something common to that landscape. On the one occasion he got it working after leaving London in 1963, the Doctor's chameleon circuit appeared to give him no control over the change. However, were the mechanism functioning correctly, it would have been programmable from a keyboard on the TARDIS's main console. Later models may have allowed greater flexibility. The Master's ability to produce an architectural column in sometimes incongruous environments like the Pharos Project or Heathrow, as well as the Monk's statement that he chose to make his TARDIS look like a sarcophagus perhaps indicated the circuits of later models could indeed be manually operated. This idea was further substantiated when the Doctor entered the Monk's TARDIS and changed its appearance from a pillar of stone to a police box identical to his own TARDIS. In Logopolis, it is implied that the Doctor could select what the TARDIS would look like. He even demonstrates to Adric how he would change the TARDIS into a pyramid, if the chameleon circuit were functioning properly.

Organic machines: TARDISes were incredibly complex machines. The nature of their construction was such that they were said to be grown rather than constructed, thus simulating a biological process, though it is not clear whether this is indicative of the machine being biological in nature or simply so intricate and complex as to appear to mimic the processes of a biological entity. Due to the level of complexity in their construction, TARDISes had a certain degree of sapience, and could take independent action, as when the Doctor's TARDIS resurrected Grace Holloway and Chang Lee, or when someone looked into the heart of the TARDIS.

 Conflicting evidence from many sources, such as other Time Lords and the Doctor himself, make unclear how the average TARDIS was alive, and whether that life extended beyond artificial sapience and into a biological existence. Some more-advanced TARDISes, such as Compassion, were fully sapient beings in their own right. TARDISes often "mourned" the death of their Time Lord pilots, even going so far as to commit suicide by flying into a sun or hurling themselves into the Time Vortex. The Fifth Doctor claimed there was "an elephants' graveyard" of TARDISes somewhere at the end of time.

Because the TARDIS displayed these organic traits, the Doctor considered his TARDIS to be alive. He talked to and stroked parts of the TARDIS when he operated it. He diagnosed mechanical difficulties as medical conditions like "indigestion." He once commented that a TARDIS was "more like a person." On one occasion, the Doctor's TARDIS manifested an avatar to help him fight a mental battle, taking on the forms and personas of the various companions who had ridden in it – however, this was when the Doctor was unconscious and was battling within his own mind. When Amy told him she thought him mad for talking to a time machine, the Eleventh Doctor told her that the TARDIS could, in fact, hear him. When the matrix of the Doctor's TARDIS was placed inside the body of a human female, it was learned that they were in fact sentient beings with some degree of free will. The TARDIS said in her human body, "All of my sisters are dead." This implies that all TARDISes were female.

Rassilon Imprimatur: Before a TARDIS was fully functional, it needed to be primed with the biological imprint from the symbiotic nuclei of a Time Lord's cells. Known as the Rassilon Imprimatur, this gave them a symbiotic link to their TARDISes and allowed them to survive the physical stresses of time travel. Without the Imprimatur, molecular disintegration would result — a safeguard against misuse of time travel — even if the TARDIS technology were copied. Once a time machine was properly primed, however, and the imprint stored on a component, it could be used safely by any species.

Specific TARDISes: The First Doctor stole his TARDIS. By the time of his fourth incarnation, all other Type 40s had been de-commisioned, save his. Following the events of the Last Great Time War, the Tenth Doctor believed that his was the last TARDIS in existence.

 Possessed by other renegades: The Rani prepares to enter her TARDIS.

The Master possessed at least two TARDISes. According to the Doctor, the Master's had a Mark II dematerialisation circuit. The Rani, the Monk and Iris Wildthyme also had TARDISes. Iris' may have been even older than the Doctor's.

Unique TARDISes: Compassion (a former member of the Remote) evolved into a TARDIS, the prototype of the sentient Type 102, the only one of that type. The first generation of mass produced sentient TARDISes was the Type 103.

 Lolita evolved from a type 45 TARDIS that had previously belonged to the Master.

 Idris and The Doctor also built the junk TARDIS out of dead TARDIS parts from the Bubble universe's junkyard.

 Copies of TARDIS technology: During the Doctor's second incarnation, the renegade Time Lord known as the War Chief provided similar time ships named SIDRATs to the War Lords to further their plans of conquest. When they learned of this, the Time Lords placed the War Lords' planet in a time loop. When the Skith probed the Doctor's mind they gained knowledge of the TARDIS and made their own version, the SKARDIS. When the Daleks gained time travel, they made a version of the TARDIS, the Dalek time machine. An alternate reality UNIT, under the command of Rose Tyler, used technology taken from the Doctor's dying TARDIS to create a time machine to send the alternate Donna Noble back in time to correct history. 79B Aickman Road was a copy of TARDIS technology.

Gallifreyan history

 (info from wiki )

Gallifrey, the home planet of the Time Lords, had a long and storied history until its destruction. In total, Time Lord civilisation lasted a billion years. Due to the time-travelling of the Time Lords and no points of reference, some historical events can be hard to date accurately, if at all.

The Dark Times: The Dark Time (also known as the Old Times or the Age of the Pythias, no relation to the Dark Times) was the earliest known period in the history of Gallifrey. It consisted of two eras, the Time of Empires and the Time of Chaos.

The Time of Empire: The Gallifreyans were an ancient species. They evolved before the Dark Times of the Universe, and were one of the first humanoid species to evolve. They were known as the Shadow People in this era, caught between the warm dark of magic and the cold light of science. Magic dominated Gallifreyan culture for a long time. A Time Lord said that they had perfected the transmat beam when the universe was less than half its present size. Before the Sol system formed, the Gallifreyans led an interstellar war against the Racnoss Empire.

Their early empire was huge, with colonies across the galaxy. Slave trading was common, though some protested. Gallifrey was ruled by the Pythia, a line of female seers. They predicted the future and controlled all power on Gallifrey. They also perpetuated mysticism on Gallifrey, and were against the use of reason. After the Intuitive Revelation, telepathy was used instead of speech. All communication was telepathic and few individuals kept their own personality or secrets. The Game was played in the Death Zone, for which beings were kidnapped out of time using Time Scoops and forced to fight. Many Gallifreyans worshipped the Menti Celesti during this time. Early research into time travel was performed. The first time machine, the Time Scaphe, was powered psychically rather than technologically.

The Time of Chaos: The power of the Pythia declined in the Time of Chaos. The Neo-Technologists, led by Rassilon, rose to power. The last Pythia lost her power of prediction, cursed Gallifrey with sterility and killed herself. Surviving members of the Pythian order fled to Karn, where they became the Sisterhood. After the collapse of the Pythia, war and chaos threatened the empire. An ice age began and Gallifrey's colonies demanded their freedom. The validium statue Nemesis spoke to Lady Peinforte of this time. The early days of the

Time Lords: The Time Lords had two founders: Rassilon and Omega. Some dubious sources describe four more: the Other, Apeiron, Pandak, and possibly Eutenoyar. If the dubious sources are true, it mayexplain the cultural significance of hexagonal objects in later Time Lord society. The Age of Rassilon: Rassilon instituted changes to deal with the problems of the Empire. He ordered the creation of genetic looms to permit the Gallifreyan race to reproduce. The Great Houses were formed to stabilise society. The Time Lords began research into black holes, the first race to do so. One of Rassilon's early attempts to create a black hole accidentally punched a hole into the Yssgaroth's Universe. The Yssgaroth escaped and caused mass destruction. The Time Lords, led by Kopyion Liall a Mahajetsu, tried to stop them, leading to the thousand year Eternal War. They eventually pushed the Yssgaroth back into their own universe.

Kopyion Liall a Mahajetsu guarded the final opening. Omega used two stellar manipulators, the 'hands' of Omega, to detonate a star known as Qqaba, to create a black hole from which the Time Lords drew the power for time travel. Omega was himself cast through the black hole into an anti-matter universe and was presumed dead. Rassilon eventually retrieved the Eye of Harmony and stored it in a vault beneath the Time Lord capitol as a source of power. The Eye of Harmony may have been a different black hole than the one created by Omega. At this point, after the damage that had been done by the Time Lords to other species, the Non-interference policy was instituted. Rassilon's rule saw the war with the Great Vampires and the end of the games in the Death Zone, where combatants from throughout time and space fought for the amusement of onlookers. During the Millennium War 150 million years ago, Rassilon defied the non-interference policy and led the Time Lords against the Mad Mind of Bophemeral. One legend says that despite his great achievements, the Time Lords rebelled against Rassilon and imprisoned him in the Dark Tower in the Death Zone. Later

History: Millenia of isolation induced a complacency among Time Lords. Their technology and power stagnated, even as other races became more powerful and dangerous. Recent History: The following events are believed to have occurred before the Doctor left Gallifrey, though their specific order is unknown. Mawdryn and a group of scientists tried to steal the secrets of Regeneration from Gallifrey, stealing a metamorphic symbiosis regenerator, but they were unsuccessful and they became stuck in a cycle of never-ending mutated regeneration. The Doctor attempted to ban the Miniscope as a cruel practice. The Time Lords set aside their non-interference policy to have the Miniscopes recalled. The Time Lords developed a chemical that could turn vertebrate blood into acid, but the Doctor successfully campaigned for it to be banned. The Time Lords tried to stop the research with the USS Eldridge, which was tearing a hole in space. Though they succeeded, the ship was believed to be lost.

The Doctor's Era: During the Doctor's lifetime, several crises occurred which brought to light the vulnerabilities of the once omnipotent Time Lords. Testimony at the Second Doctor's malfeasance tribunal revealed many marauding races had emerged in the Universe after the Time Lords adopted their isolationist policies. When the Doctor was very young his father, Ulysses, was told by Larna, a Time Lady from the future, that the fate of Gallifrey was mixed with that of the Doctor and that the Doctor would have a part to play in its downfall. The Time Lords were easily rendered helpless when Omega began to drain energy from Gallifrey, and were only saved by the intervention of the Doctor's first three incarnations. The ease with which the Master was able to alter records in the Archives and manipulate the Matrix was due largely to the fact that the technology behind the Matrix's APC Net had been surpassed on other worlds,. On those worlds the technology would, according to the Doctor, be considered "prehistoric junk". The Time Lords faced "the most dangerous crisis in their long history" when the Master arranged the President's assassination as part of a plan to take control of the Eye of Harmony.

The Eye was thought mythical, but in reality it resided underneath the Panopticon and continued to power all of Gallifrey's technology. The Fourth Doctor saved Gallifrey and left. The Doctor's departure left Gallifrey in the midst of a constitutional crisis. Due to a legal technicality exploited by the Doctor, he was now technically President, the only other candidate, Goth, having been killed. For a time, Gallifrey seemed to have no President. The Doctor eventually returned to claim the title as part of a plot to defeat a Vardan invasion. This invasion was a front, however, for a Sontaran invasion of Gallifrey. Although defeated, these invasions exposed weaknesses in Gallifrey's defences. Later, the High Council decided to physically move Earth in order to preserve secrets stolen from the Matrix. These revelations caused a revolution on Gallifrey. ( Destruction of Gallifrey:

First Destruction: In a now defunct future, the Time Lords went to war with a foe known only as the Enemy. The war was temporal in nature and cracks appeared throughout the Web of Time. They ran backwards through time, affecting the past. The war with the Enemy raged for an undefinable time, but eventually temporal events reached a critical level. The Eighth Doctor attacked openly, destroying Gallifrey. At some point after this, Gallifrey was restored. Lord President Rassilon addresses the Time Lords.

Second Destruction: The Time Lords finally met their end in the Last Great Time War, as the Dalek Imperial fleet attacked their world. During the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords grew mad and sought to end time itself to free themselves from physical bodies. The Doctor destroyed the Daleks - or so he believed at the time - and the Time Lords, ending their disastrous plans. The guilt and trauma resulting from this haunted the Doctor throughout his ninth incarnation.

The destruction of Gallifrey: To avert their destruction, the Time Lords sent a four-beat signal into the Master's mind and then sent a Whitepoint Star diamond to December 2009 Earth. With the drumming as a signal and the diamond as a connection, the Master pulled a group of Time Lords through to Earth, and also pulled Gallifrey through. Gallifrey was returned to the last day of the Time War, and destroyed when the Tenth Doctor destroyed the Whitepoint Star within the Nuclear Bolt that was generating the signal.

Gallifrey (my home planet)

 (info from wiki )

Gallifrey was the homeworld of the Time Lords, amongst them the Doctor and the Master. It was destroyed in the Last Great Time War. (DW: Dalek) The literal translation of Gallifrey was "They that walk in the shadows".

Location: Gallifrey was located in the constellation of Kasterborous, at galactic co-ordinates 10-0-11-0-0 by 0-2 from Galactic Zero Centre. Several accounts placed it more or less at the centre of its galaxy. Indeed, I.M. Foreman once specified to the the Doctor that it wasn't in "the exact dead centre, but it's as close as you can get without ending up in a black hole". This meant that it was far from Earth, which was on the edge of the Milky Way. It was believed to be about 30,000 light years from Earth After the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords attempted to bring back Gallifrey, moving it very close to Earth, which would be destroyed in the process. This attempt was stopped by the Tenth Doctor and the Master with help from the Doctor's companion Wilfred Mott and aliens Addams and Rossiter. Gallifrey materializes next to Earth. Kasterborous was also known as the Seven Systems, and Gallifrey had the alternative name, "the Shining World of the Seven Systems".

Astronomy: Gallifrey was in a binary star system. The second star seeming to rise in the south in the morning, making the mountains glow. The main star was large and golden red. The system contained five other planets, among them Karn, Polarfrey, and an asteroid named Kasterbourous the Fibster. Gallifrey had at least two large moons and a ring system, similar to Saturn in our solar system. One of the moons was the copper-coloured Pazithi Gallifreya, which shone so brightly it could be seen during the day. Gallifrey was duplicated eight times by a process known as Crypto-forming to create the Nine Gallifreys. It was used both to confound its enemies and as a place of refuge. Gallifrey was still destroyed by the Eighth Doctor (following involvement from Faction Paradox) during the Second War in Heaven. It was recreated and then destroyed a second time by the Doctor in the Last Great Time War.

 Landscape: From orbit, Gallifrey was rust-coloured, with brown lakes and grey clouds. Following the Last Great Time War, it was still rust and brown coloured, but had a more volcanically active appearance. From the planet's surface, it boasted an orange sky and trees with silver leaves. These reflected the morning sunlight, making it look like the forests were on fire. There were also green forests, golden fields and red deserts, but overall it seems to have been a much drier world than Earth. The Sixth Doctor once declared the climate to be "like the Serengeti all year round".

 Known geographic features:

Continents/regions: Wild Endeavour - The Capitol was located here The Death Zone - The Tomb of Rassilon was located here Southern Gallifrey

 Mountains: Mount Cadon, Mount Lung, Mount Perdition, The Never Ending Mountains of Solace and Solitude Possibly two separate mountains, possibly the name of a mountain range. It/They were near the Capitol. If they are two separate mountains then the Capitol laid between them: "between the mountains of Solace and Solitude"

 Rivers, lakes, and oceans: Cadonflood River, Lake Abydos Major settlements: The Capitol (sometimes also called "Gallifrey" or "the Citadel") was Gallifrey's largest city, the home of the Time Lord Academy and most of the Time Lords. Olyesti The Capitol. Native species:

Gallifreyan flora: Gallifrey had a wide variety of plant life, ranging in colour from silver to green and golden. Known plant species include the Schlenk Blossom, ulanda and the Madevinia aridosa. The Master's father's estate was lush with red grass.

Gallifreyan fauna: Animals native to Gallifrey include flutterwings, trunkikes, yaddlefish, flubbles, tafelshrews: Time's Crucible), plumboles, rovies, mice, cats and, of course, the Gallifreyans themselves. In the past, the dinosaur-like Gargantosaurs lived on the planet. Oddly enough, before its complete annihilation from time and space, no animal had gone extinct from the planet. This lack of extinction was probably due to the Time Lords, who likely brought back species before they had died out.
