Why no Real Life examples?

I could think of no other Trope Page that may properly include REAL evil-looking towers. I have added Fonthill Abbey but have not removed the No Real tag just to let you know this. I've read somewhere that claims that Orthanc of Lot R was in fact based on this building.

Is there any example worth noting of such towers falling victim to to a Dungeon Bypass by simply flying/climbing up the outside? I feel like there might have been, but not sure if its actually happened enough that it should get a mention in the trope description.

I'm too lazy for a signature.

I can't believe no one added Patricia C. Wrede's "Caught in Crystal". Awesome book.

A quote is not details. An example should provide some details of how the trope plays out in the work at hand. We don't pothole work titles because they provide context, especially to readers unfamiliar with a work.

I think this article could use a better picture; Kefka's tower isn't really very ominous, largely because Kefka's shtick after his acension is that Light Is Not Good. Instead, I propose that we use an image of Sauron's tower from Lord of the Rings.

Edited by SemiCasualObserver I reject your requirement for a witty statement or fanboyish squealing in my signature.
