Clock Tower Ruins

This old clock tower had existed in Era for ages and was a sight to see throughout its years for it never once broke down. However, the day the kingdom fell, the clock silenced its tolls and froze its hands appearing to almost freeze in time. None ever knew why, and many tried to fix the old clock, yet it remained frozen until the day the tower fell. There was a rumor started by loyalists that it was a sign that the aristocracy is meant to be in power, though of course rebels insisted it was just an old clock and odd luck. On November 26, 2011, the tower was blown apart by as of yet unknown forces. Whoever is responsible, though, people seem to agree- whether with joy or fear or disgust- that its destruction parallels to the fall of old power in Era. Ruins of the tower now lay scattered, though the broken base still extends up five stories (a mere fraction of its former glory) with a number of chambers still in-tact, and skeletal scaffolding higher still.
