In The Lord of Time, you take on the role of a member of the legendary Faction Paradox cult, a time-traveling group so potent that just mentioning their name is enough to cause armies to retreat. Your type 50 T.A.R.D.I.S. ship has crashed in a new galaxy, and you must now travel to the known galaxy to lay the groundwork for a new civilization there. You meet young Liu Cheng during your travels and decide to take her aboard your ship. Backtrack across time and space to when the cult was at its peak.
