Game where there are N towers of stones and 2 players Ask Question. Here's what I've drawn out so far, as a map of the height of the towers to who wins: Deadly Nicotine 7. Would anyone really be expected to figure that out on their own?

Or this just a known trick-problem? Somebody must have figured it out in the first place. The tower on the Isle of Balfiera is known by many names. It was the first unassailable spike of reality in the Dawn , [UOL 2] the site of Convention, the single oldest building in all the known world. Convention consisted of two known decisions: As God of the Mundus, alike shall be his progeny, split from their divine sparks.

We are Eight time eight Exarchs. Let the home of Padomay see us as sole exit". The facade has changed over the years, but the core of the tower has remained entirely the same: Adjacent to the Zero Stone, this door has a lock of thirteen slowly counter-rotating rings. It has never been opened. When the Merethic elves self-refracted, the Chimer followed Red-Heart.

Auri-El launched the Heart of Lorkhan across the world because he could not destroy it. It is the Heart of the World, and merely laughed at his efforts. Thus, the Heart became the First Stone to the second Tower. It imbued Mundus with a special kind of divinity: Using Kagrenac's achievements, four Chimer eventually tapped into the power of the Heart: And eventually, they lost the capability of winning, and instead began losing, slowly.

However, with the fulfillment of the Nerevarine Prophecies in 3E , Kagrenac's bindings upon the Heart were destroyed: All who had stolen power from it lost their divine spark, and the threat Dagoth Ur posed to Tamriel was quickly eliminated. The Red Tower had fallen, and some worried that this cost would be too great to bear, for the barrier between Mundus and Oblivion was rendered weaker than ever before, [UOL 2] and great enemies who had long coveted the mortal plane decided to act upon their avarice. To this end, they entered into a pact with the Daedric Princes to harvest castaway creatia from the Void.

It is noteworthy that the Ayleids built more than a just the central tower: This special power also made White-Gold especially dangerous, for if the Ayleids succeeded in making their own Wheel, their own microcosm within a microcosm, then if and when it was meddled with, the consequences could prove absolutely disastrous. Rather, the legend of Saint Alessia and her new Covenant with Akatosh began. It is said that her rebellion was blessed by Akatosh, who looked with pity upon the plight of her people.

He drew his own blood and blessed Alessia with it, forging their pact: So long as the Empire maintained its worship of Akatosh and his kin, and so long as Alessia's heirs bore the Amulet of Kings, Akatosh and his divine kin would maintain a strong barrier protecting the mortal plane. Mortals did not always prove capable of holding to this Covenant. During the Interregnum of the Second Era , the Amulet of Kings had no master, with devastating results for all of Tamriel. As Dagon and his armies rained devastation down upon the Imperial City to thwart his coronation, Martin ended the Crisis by forging a new agreement between mortals and the gods, again written in blood — this time, his own.

He shattered the Amulet of Kings, transforming himself into an avatar of Akatosh and vanquishing Dagon, jettisoning the Prince of Destruction back into Oblivion. It was a miraculous victory for all mortalkind, and perhaps the true significance of this victory is still not fully understood. But nevertheless, Tower One was left without a Stone. Like Red Tower, White-Gold was apparently left defunct.

Further, this would not be the only Tower to fall to Dagon's onslaught. The Crystal Tower was one of the first towers erected in emulation of Ada-Mantia , possibly the very first. The white interior of the tower was said to radiate light. An outsider used the divine power of the Dawnbreaker to reforge it in 2E For the people of Summerset, the tower was the heart of their homeland, a heart which was ripped out during the Oblivion Crisis. Before Martin Septim could close shut the jaws of Oblivion, the hordes of Daedra attacking the homeland of the Altmer were able to use magic to topple their tower.

Its apex is said to be only "half here". The Prophecy's reference to the Snow Tower has been widely construed as referring to the plight of Skyrim during the Stormcloak Rebellion , wherein High King Torygg was killed and the province was launched into a bitter civil war. The Bosmer did not build a Tower, they grew it, a great graht-oak whose roots sprang from a Perchance Acorn. This was their Stone. And because the Acorn might perchance have been elsewhere, thus was Green-Sap manifold and several.

And each could walk, and sing their own songs. The Psijic Order taking it is probably a good thing since they vehemently oppose the Thalmor and don't want to undo the world so I'm guessing they would use it to strengthen Mundus. Whether or not they'd use the Eye to make their own Tower is questionable but it's a not a bad idea if they were to.

It also explains why the Psijics decide to get involved in the first place; they know about the Towers, and they know that by taking the Eye into public space they endanger it.

Removing the Eye from Skyrim most likely leads to Snow-Throat being disabled, but if they can make Ceporah a proper Tower, we're still equal. Something tells me that the old Nords were dangerously close to the eye, and the Falmer tried to get them away from it.

Throat of the World: Some say it's Paarthurnax. Maybe it's the Dovakhiin, or even Alduin. I heard somewhere that the Khajiit themselves are a stone.

• Prahlad.

Any merit to this? Also, these are the stones that bind Mundus or something, right? The Khajiit are often theorized as being a tower in themselves, but I don't know that theory intimately enough to tell you how much merit there is to it.

And yes, these stones power the towers that hold up Mundus. Think of the towers like pillars holding up a ceiling.

It's what's holding up the laws and physics. Before convention Dawn , Nirn was a wild and crazy place with no logic applied to it at all. When the Dirinni Tower was made during convention, it put everything in a meaningful stasis that the mortals could understand which at the same time the Mer began making clones of Dirinni Tower all around Tamriel, but I wouldn't take that statement to heart. It could simply be a metaphor for the convention of all the other races of Tamriel or something else that I myself can't explain.

As Wuuthrad said, Adamantium Tower was formed during the creation of Mundus, so there's always been at least one. Right after that, Lorkhan's heart was cast to the ground, creating Red Tower. The Khajiit "themselves" are more diverse than any mannish or elven race. The lunar lattice determines body type, ranging from tiny tree-climbing quadrupeds, to gigantic Battle Cat steeds think like what He-Man rides , plus the various bipedal humanoid types seen in the TES games.

So while I like the idea of the Khajiit race being a stone, maybe they're the tower and the Moons are the stone? So a current hypothesis in the whole Bug Jar conspiracy theory is that the Thalmor have been eroding the power and stability of the Towers in order to destroy Mundus and help the Mer Elven races regain their connection to divinity. But the pessimist inside of me says that this is going to be the main plot behind the Elder Scrolls MMO.
