Clocktower

The Clocktower of Dunwall is the tallest structure in Dunwall save for Dunwall Tower itself.^[1] It is situated on the northern edge of the Estate District,^[2] and stands out significantly among the city's many old and crumbling buildings. It has a large metal lattice-style of architecture, which likely holds in the clocktower's mechanisms, and it can be seen from almost anywhere in Dunwall due to its elevated position.

The clock chimed at the top of every hour.^[1]

History

On 8th Day, Month of Darkness, 1851, roughly after the second hour in the morning,^[1] Empress Emily Kaldwin climbed the Clocktower for the view it gave her of the surrounding city.^[2]
