Interestingly, the Tower in the Guardian's Realm has collapsed from the sky. The raising of the immense Azadi Tower almost seems like a counterbalance. In the real world, there was an Azadi Tower built in 1971 by Shah Reza Pahlavi of Iran to commemorate the the historic Shahs of the Sassanian and Safavid periods. Dubbed the 'Shahyad Tower', it was designed with both the Sassanian and Islamic styles in mind, and the end result could be seen as similar to Dreamfall's Azadi Tower. After the Islamic Revolution it was renamed the Azadi ('freedom') Tower, and remains the symbol of both Tehran, and Iran itself. As with the Tower Square of Dreamfall the real-world tower stands at the centre of Azadi Square.
