What TES VI will actually be about:
[spoiler]The Thalmor trying to unmake the universe by destroying the few towers that are still active[/spoiler]

Edited by Byrne: 1/9/2014 10:54:02 AMTowers? Can you explain what they are? I love ES lore but the only Tower I know of is the Adamantine Tower in High Rock. And that's just an old building, right?
-
The towers are magical structures that hold up creation. Adamanitine tower is one of them and Snow-Throat (Throat of the World) are the only ones still active, and once they are destroyed, the universe will revert to it's pre-creation stage. Non active ones include Red mountain and the White-Gold tower
-
Shit, really? -blam!- the Mer. So is Red Mountain still there? I presume it was on Vvardenfell. That's really interesting. I wonder why they never came up while I was digging around the lore on UESP?

[quote]I wonder why they never came up while I was digging around the lore on UESP?[/quote] Because this is the [i]really[/i] -blam!-ing obscure stuff. Along with stuff like CHIM, Amaranth and the Godhead. But yeah, read mountain is still there, but it's no longer active http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Towers This is where stuff starts to get [i]weird[/i], like, [i]really[/i] weird.

Cool. I love this. I thought I had dug well into the lore, then this stuff bites me in the ass. Thanks!
-
GENIUS!
-
Is that a prediction or do you have any sources? That sounds pretty awesome if that really is what TES VI is going to be.
-
Prediction. It's hinted all over the -blam!-ing place though. [spoiler]To kill Man is to reach Heaven, from where we came before the Doom Drum's iniquity. When we accomplish this, we can escape the mockery and long shame of the Material Prison. To achieve this goal, we must: 1) Erase the Upstart Talos from the mythic. His presence fortifies the Wheel of the Convention, and binds our souls to this plane. 2) Remove Man not just from the world, but from the Pattern of Possibility, so that the very idea of them can be forgotten and thereby never again repeated. 3) With Talos and the Sons of Talos removed, the Dragon will become ours to unbind. The world of mortals will be over. The Dragon will uncoil his hold on the stagnancy of linear time and move as Free Serpent again, moving through the Aether without measure or burden, spilling time along the innumerable roads we once travelled. And with that we will regain the mantle of the imperishable spirit.[/spoiler]

So they are going to destroy these towers in an attempt to become immortal? I started TES with Skyrim so I don't much of TES lore, what exactly are the towers?
