Direnni Tower in ESO?

So I was doing Alcaire Dolmen in Stormhaven, and looking West from it you see a White-Gold Tower like structure, looking on the map I'm looking at an island, is this supposed to be Direnni Tower on the Isle of Balfiera?

✭What you are seeing is the white-gold tower of the capital in Cyrodiil. The tower is meant to be huge and capable of being seen from long distances.
You can see it in some of the other alliance zones as well.PUG Life - the true test of your skill

✭It's not the one in Cyrodiil, it's the tower you see off the shores of Glenumbra/Stormhaven that looks like a copy and paste of the White Gold Tower. I believe it is and may be a place holder for a future update one day.Edited by Kikazaru on September 10, 2014 6:33AMMizaru

✭It looks like the image in the thread below. If you remember your days in the game Oblivion you will recognise the tower as being the white gold tower in Cyrodiil.

I'm not sure what else it could be, it is pretty distinctive.
Edit no sorry he is facing in the wrong direction. It would be East from Stormhaven towards Cyrodiil.Edited by Curragraigue on September 10, 2014 6:51AMPUG Life - the true test of your skill

✭✭Yes it is meant to be Direnni tower. It is situated in Iliac Bay, which the White-Gold tower obviously is not.8 -
Circuitous✭✭✭✭✭The resemblance is so strong because White-Gold Tower was built specifically to resemble Direnni Tower, in hopes of emulating its power (which by many accounts it achieves).Ｔｈａｎｋ Ｓｔｅｎｄａｒｒ ｉｔ’ｓ Ｆｒｅｄａｓ．

✭Someone actually made a topic about it years ago and sesm out to it when they were partially disconnected from the server, allowing them to bypass the slaughterfish. You can actually get up to the Direnni tower but everything there is low res textures. May well be used at some point. Kinda like how you used to be able to go off the map in some places and see weird grid like areas where names of potential future caves and what not might be put in future content.0 -
Radinyn✭✭✭✭✭It is Direnni aka Adamantine Tower.... White gold tower is a copy of it.

✭✭✭Yes it is the "Adamantine Tower" aka Direnni Tower, Ur-Tower and Ada-Mantia.
I have also been hoping for it to be added. I know the vid was posted above, but here are screen shots of it and location for those who want to go take a look!It was mentioned in a quest in CWC and hinted at us seeing it in future!!

Boggus✭✭Yes, It's meant to resemble Adamantine Tower / Direnni tower but because there is no quest or content surrounding this tower and because you only see it from a distance (unless you glitch yourself there ofc). ZOS decided to probably save themself the time and effort to make a unique model for the building and just took the already existing White-Gold-Tower models. Though I understand ZOS' decision here I really hope they revisit the place sometime in the future with a new model and maybe make the player go there in a Dungeon/Trial etc.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Given the current main storyline has Daedric Princes banding together and going to war with one another, surely this place would be featured as somewhere that they want to try to control? There sure as heck has to be power in there.Sweetrolls for all!

rei91✭✭✭Up...
Just wanted to say, while ayleids indeed TRIED to build a copy of Zero Tower, they couldn't do it exactly the same. It is stated in some book about Direnni Tower that it has unrealistic proportions, with which no building can be stable, and material is unknown. Yet ayleids built WGT themselves, dealing with laws of physics, of some real stone (marble probably?)
What I mean they can't look exactly the same.
I really hope devs will take this into account when/if they'll make Direnni tower accessible in future DLC.
Sorry for my English being funny.0 -

The stone they built with is called Telvar stone. The daedra in the Imperial City DLC destroy the tower because doing so makes mundus more unstable, if I remember correctly. Because the creation of Telvar is highly unethical, the existing Telvar stones that have been broken off must be recollected for later reconstruction. That is the reason why the merchants in the sewers of the Imperial City accept Telvar as a currency.Edited by Ratzkifal on March 13, 2019 3:22PMThis Bosmer was tortured to death.

I thought there's just some core part if WGT built with Tel Var, not the whole tower? Nevertheless, it's not the same material with Direnni tower, they just tried to emulate its power with some... Idk... Enchanted marble)) whatever Tel Var is.

✭✭✭✭✭How strange. I just yesterday for the first time noticed this huge shadowy tower out in the ocean. So I checked the map. There's an island (unnamed) where the tower seemed to be situated. I was pretty mystified. And now here you lovely people have provided an explanation!
Thanks guys! (Oops, didn't see it was a necro as I just clicked on the last post.... Oh well, I got my answer....)0 -
