Plot
The Doctor learns that a Time Lord casket is somewhere in the remains of the Forge. When he finds it, he sees a very familiar face inside. But the worst is yet to come. The Word Lord is loose in 21st Century London, with an almost endless amount of words and information to take advantage of. The Doctor must make the ultimate sacrifice to stop him. The future folds into the past. The homeless hero has fallen. The Tale of the Herald. The Tale of the Hidden Woman. The Tale of the Final Speaker.
