== History == | |||
=== Creating a Multiversal numbering scheme === | |||
At some point, the Council of Frogs created a [[Doomsday Book]] listing all known universes; the numbered “Council of Frogs classification” was a consensus naming scheme of universes, used for example in the [[Hilbert's|Interdimensional Hotel]]. It was unclear whether the group was actually made up of sapient frogs, although [[Sylvester Shoebill]] once implied so, referring to the Frogs as “slimy green gits”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') | |||
As explained by [[Miss Erehwon|one version]] of [[Jenny Nowhere]] (who stated this was all documented in a book called ''[[The Infinity Rassilons|The Infinity]] [[Rassilon]]s'', credited to [[Percival Lankin]]), an infinity of groups of [[Time Lord]]s, acting as representatives of their universe before the [[Council of Frogs]], wished for ''their'' specific realities to be granted a small, memorable number in [[Doomsday Book|the Frogs' classification]] so as to mark out their importance. Eventually, an “agreement” was reached: one set of Time Lords “got to become the [[Third Universe]] in earnest”, while each of the others “went home believing ''they''<nowiki>'</nowiki>d been the lucky winners”. All the sets of Time Lords, however, were given “a little casket, to be opened only in the gravest of emergency, holding the true knowledge of [their] official number”. This was apparently documented in a book called ''[[The Infinity Rassilons|The Infinity]] [[Rassilon]]s'', written by [[Percival Lankin]].

=== Later history === | |||
The Council was one of many multiversal authorities which disapproved of factions with interdimensional capabilities conquering other universes than their own, dissuading the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] from ever pursuing such strategies. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') They “turned a blind eye” to the Cupids founding [[Morningstar 1]] on [[Venus#In the 97th Cosmos|Venus]] in the [[97th Cosmos]] on the basis that the planet was uninhabited, and with the understanding that they would make no attempt to take control of the nearby [[Earth#In the 97th Cosmos|Earth]].

During his brief impromptu lecture on Multiversal theory, [[Doctor Sigma]] regretted not finding the time to explain the nature of the Council of Frog to his audience. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory (comic story)|The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory]]'') | |||
