So historical *-*

Dracane

Oh my god oh my god oh my god, this is so historical. *-* The Adamantine tower can be seen in TESO. Do you even know, how historical that is ? If I was my character right now, I would probably drown, because this is so breathtaking. I didn't know, it actually looks like the White-Gold tower in Cyrodiil O.o but.......... historical *-*

I'm really hating slaughter fishes right now, because I wish I could go there, but I'm not worthy enough anyway *-* so historical.

Oh yes cute kitty cat, you should and you should take me with you. I would even pay it. But prepare..... I might become unconscious as we get closer and closer. I think, I'm swimming at the same spot since over 30 minutes right now, because I can't say goodbye.

Dracane

I have to mention again, how historical that is I mean.... the oldest building on Tamriel PLUS our great ancestors, the Aedra are said to have been there. I can't believe it, so close but also so far away.

Is that really the Adamantine Tower? Yeesh... it's just a copy-pasted White-Gold Tower :disagree:

Oh yes, my friend *-* it is, can you believe this ? It can be seen in Glenumbar, the isle is also on the map. But this island normally contains 5 islands and I wasn't able to spot them so far.....
But who knows, maybe it does really look like White-Gold tower ?

I prefer the view from Stormhaven, Alcaire dolmen island.

This has been discussed before BTW, the conclusion is it might be the Adamant tower (nobody can actually say it is, but it is in the right area), there are several of these Towers that help underpin reality in Tamriel (long story, but look up what the Thalmor are trying to achieve on google for it), and all of them are functioning at this point in Time.

Oh, I'm not asking if it really is, I just find it funny ZOS just copy-pasted White-Gold Tower and put it there.

Oh no, not again -.- the Thalmor are trying to achive nothing. This only Michael Kirbride's fictional trash, you must instantly erase that from your mind. I have this discussion daily on Facebook. I don't understand, how people can't see the difference between real, official game lore and fan fiction. I mean.... Kirkbride thinks, Altmer ships are made of pure light.

We all know, this is not the case.

The only thing that makes me believe, that this is not the Adamantine tower, is that there should be 4 islands between the tower island and High Rock, but I can't see any. So maybe this is the 1st of the 5 islands and this is just a random tower. But I don't think so.

As far as I know they really look the same.

I think actually the White-Gold-Tower is a copy of the Adamant tower.

I'm thinking the same. Since the Adamantine tower is much older. But did the builders of the White-Gold tower really see the tower before ? hm.

The Wiki description descrbies it as circular, so it could be. And we only see the spire, so we don't really know, how it looks like. Maybe one interesting thing: In the very early Beta, the slaughter fish and invisible walls didn't exist. A friend of mine was able to swim over to the main Summerset sail and he said, one could already see places for dark anchors and other objects.

So what does this mean ?

Whatever you think of out-of-game lore, the Towers are canon (Book of the Dragonborn, Vivec's sermons, even The Infernal City speculates about towers upholding the Mundus). And if so, then what is their purpose? Do you really believe there is none? And no reason why they're falling one by one?

As for the Sunbirds of Alinor, we've never seen one, so how do you know they aren't made of sunlight? Sunlight technically being magic, it isn't so far-fetched...

The Adamantine Tower in the Bay is modelled. You can swim to it if a) you are in Glenumbra and b) you are desynched long enough. I think the guy who posted shots of his Khajjiit on the isle might have said something about swimming for 15 minutes, so you'd have to be desynched that long.

Dracane

Wow, thank you. How can I become desynched ? And where can I find these screenshots ?

Woolenthreads

From memory, somewhere in "General Discussion" from several months ago. I'm not game to go looking so I can link it, that sort of time sink I can do without . Even if I just looked at comments via my profile, with 700+ comments that's a massive amount of time, which is why I mention it but don't link it.

Oh my god oh my god *-* look at these screenshots. My heart..... it looks so celestial close up. Thank you so much, Bosmer lady.

Woolenthreads

LOL, It's not the post I was thinking of, the post I remember had the pics halfway down the comments . Kudos for finding proof though .

Rosveen

Haha, you're welcome, Dracane.

My google-fu is strong today, so is this the post you were thinking about?

Um, the Thalmor are clearly trying to accomplish something, they did not rebel against the Empire and set up Embassies for nothing. Let alone in Skyrim we find out they are purging Bosmer communities every so often (no other races are confirmed but heavily implied for all Elf races).

I will however accept that the Thalmor is ESO are different to Thalmor in Skyrim, ESO Thalmor innocent, Skyrim Thalmor more like the Veiled Heritance.

Just one of seven structures that have been added to the game that you can see from a distance but should not be able to get to, but you can. They should add a hidden achievement for getting to all seven.

That's the one. Well done, your google-fu is scary.

Can you please name them all ? Are the ones mentioned historical ?
