It is this {{existential|Horror}} dread, rather than the volume of the sound, that makes people collapse when it's rung to announce Agatha's accession. Mechanicsburg's people are unnafected by it since they're used to the idea and have a ''joie de vivre'' with knowledge that they had limited time.

* {{Irony}}: In a rather absurd historical example, the Cobbler's Guild of Mechanicsburg paid a philosopher to write some advertising pamphlets.

The Heterodyne of the time was impressed by how well the cobbler's boots stood up through the mob beating, so he ordered a new pair for each of his soldiers, which meant that the "pamphlet" really did boost sales for the cobblers.

* HeelFaceTurn: Played for laughs. After the Doom Bell has rung and Baron Krassimir Oublenmach realizes there ''is'' a lost treasure of the Heterodynes after all (while lying collapsed on the tower roof), he mentally gloats that he's on the cusp of claiming the treasure for himself and winning. The footnote immediately afterwards notes that this ended up starting his storied career as a loyal servant of the Heterodyne family, which he strenuously denies he is in the present day that the in-universe authors are writing the book in, but apparently it worked out really well for him. Then the footnote notes that the story is going to leave him lying there for the rest of the book because he's a relative bit player in Agatha's story and he's not gonna show up again for goodness knows how many more novels anyway.
