Lore:White Gold Tower

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

White Gold Tower is the central spire located at the Imperial City's heart. It towers above everything else in the city.

The tower was built by the Aldmer in the middle Merethic Era ^[1] and was the center of the region occupied by their kin, the Ayleids. The distance between the Ayleids' lands and those of their theoretical overlords led to to the establishment of White Gold Tower as an independent city state in 1E 1 ^[1]; a state that lasted until Alessia overthrew Ayleid rule in 243 ^{[2] [3]}

Currently it serves as the Imperial Palace and hosts the vaults and libraries of the Moth Priesthood. It can be seen from all over Imperial City and its surrounding countryside and it is a very defining feature and monument.
