The Night of the Bell Towers (Nisser: Nåkt de Clockentern) was a large-scale organized dissent during the Nisser Revolution that used the intimidation tactics that were standard for much of the Gothic Revolution in Northern Nisserige. Taking place on midnight of 9 March 1771, several bell and carillon towers across Northern Nisserige began to loudly ring and play funerary music as an act of organized protest against the Kingdom of Nisser.
