[edit] Proposed Canon

The Tower of Efdup was a structure in the Garrison of Gobwin Knob. It somewhat resembled an air traffic control tower with a spire on top.^Erf-b1-p023 The Tower was considered a zone of the garrison for the purpose of Unit Movement. It could only be attacked from Airspace and other Garrison zones.^Erf-b1-p116a It provided a bonus to Casters^Erf-b1-p116a, though the specifics were never revealed.

[edit] Interior

The tower consisted of several distinctive sections:

• a section above ground level up to a round observation platform
• the observation platform and parapet
• a spire above the observation platform

All three sections were connected by a round staircase.^Erf-b1-p026

The section above ground level and up to a round observation platform contained:

• the library^Erf-b1-p043
• Eight flights of stairs up, (128 steps) from the library to the Situation Room
• the situation room^Erf-b1-p045
  • with the holographic battle table ^{First Intermission 38}

The observation platform contained:

• an office for the Ruler
• a parapet that was used for observation^Erf-b1-p023
• a room where the summoning spell was cast^{Erf-b1-p017 and Erf-b1-p023}

The spire above the observation platform contained:

• living quarters for some units, including Parson^Erf-b1-p035 and probably Wanda^Erf-b1-p074
• four spikes, on which dwagons perched^{Erf-b1-p031 Erf-b1-p035}

[edit] Plot

Parson lured Prince Ansom to the parapet under pretense of accepting Parson's surrender.^Erf-b1-p130 The surrendering Parson turned out to be Bogroll in disguise, who tackled Ansom off of his flying carpet to both his and Bogroll's death.^Erf-b1-p131

The Tower was destroyed when Sizemore collapsed the tunnels under Gobwin Knob following orders from Parson.^Erf-b1-p132

[edit] The Second Tower of Efdup

The new Tower of Efdup in Gobwin Knob features more of a Neo-gothic architectural style reminiscent of the real world Big Ben in London.

After the destruction of the original tower, and the end of the battle for Gobwin Knob, Stanley paid to have the city repaired to level 5. This included a new tower, with a completely new look. The new tower, unlike the original, is square, stately, and symmetrical. It still has a large number of stairs.

[edit] Speculation

It is not clear where Wanda's living quarters^Erf-b1-p027are located.

[edit] Real World References

The name is probably a pun on "The Tower of F'd Up", or more colloquially, it's an "F'ed up Tower".
