How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The revelation of Noghai's advancing army and Tegana's covetous desire for the TARDIS in S16 escalates the stakes from the diplomatic intrigue of S13/S14 to a full-scale military conspiracy, with the TARDIS now a pivotal prize in the Mongol war effort."

S14 introduces the political tensions and Tegana's ambiguity, while S16 expands this into a direct military threat with the TARDIS as a strategic asset. This escalation reflects Noghai's trajectory from a warlord in the shadows to one with tangible power and ambition.
