Plot

Parson lured Prince Ansom to the parapet under pretense of accepting Parson's surrender.Erf-b1-p130Same-site.PNG Surrendering Parson turned out to be Bogroll in disguise, who knocked Ansom from his flying carpet and they both fell down to their death.Erf-b1-p131Same-site.PNG

The Tower was destroyed when Sizemore collapsed the tunnels under Gobwin Knob following orders from Parson.Erf-b1-p132Same-site.PNG

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.

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".
