New Gallifrey was founded on December 17th, 2017, by six former members of the Gallifreyan Tradition Society, including Patrician President Rory and Patrician President Julesy, who were then-Presidents of the Gallifreyan Tradition Society. The other founders were Patrician Advisor Morgana, Patrician Calista, Patrician Olivia, then Healer-Castellan Jelen, Former Coordinator Quinn and former Patrician-Chancellor Shilo.
The date December 17th was significant, as it was the Death of Apeiron, a holiday celebrated both in New Gallifrey and the Gallifreyan Tradition and dedicated to standing up for what you believe is right and mourning times when you were a bystander to injustice. That night, both the Death of Apeiron and the launch of New Gallifrey were celebrated.
House Prisogik'a, then called House Slytherin, the first Great House of the Gallifreyan Tradition, changed affiliations from the Gallifreyan Tradition Society to New Gallifrey, as the majority of the House had left the Gallifreyan Tradition Society in favor of New Gallifrey.
