[edit] WGT and barriers

The White Gold Tower was the hidden actor in the Oblivion Crisis, as it was the tower, and not its anchor, the Amulet of Kings, nor the symbol of the connection, the Dragonfires, which upheld the Lunar Lattice between Mundus and Oblivion.

Um... what does WGT have to do with the Dragonfires, or the barriers between Tamriel and Oblivion? Did I miss something in Oblivion? —- LordDagon 10:09, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

The biggest plot hole in Oblivion. Here is the ESF thread that goes into it. 62.251.15.186 06:10, 7 August 2008 (EDT) Proweler

The post by B is very apropos the Lore discussion... I know it is old, but here. --Benould^•T•C 22:01, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

It's Oblivion that missed something, in their quest to not explain their own plot. WGT, Red Mountain, the Khajiiti religion and practices, a certain structure on Balfiera Island, High Rock that featured in Daggerfall, all these help hold Mundus together. And when they are all functioning, the Daedra cannot enter. The Dragonfires are just a political and religious symbol established by Emperor Reman relating to the Amulet of Kings, which is bound to WGT.Temple-Zero 10:17, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

You might want to write an article on TESF about that first, get it peer reviewed and stick it up on TIL or it's original research by wikipedia standards. Then you can also stick a nice reference to it in the article. 62.251.15.186 06:10, 7 August 2008 (EDT) Proweler

Do you anticipate anyone having anything to say about it if I did?Temple-Zero 22:41, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

I just rewrote the article because people seem to be very confused on it's significance at the moment. What was left from the last edit just seemed too stubby for WGT. Hope you dont mindTalos 18:41, 23 August 2008 (EDT)Talos

[edit] Moved from the Article

Since this dubious (and at least partly incorrect) paragraph is already causing confusion (see above) I'm moving it here. The discussion to which Nephele referred Antares is interesting but should not prevent the editing of incorrect material. Deleting this paragraph was going too far but moving it here is appropriate. I have replaced it with some descriptive text based on cited sources. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 04:33, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Originally built by the Ayleids, the tower has both a symbolic significance and is of very real cosmic importance to the stability of Tamriel. Its location at the center of an array of other Towers serving similar purposes give it an untold power to influence Creation. The White Gold Tower was the hidden actor in the Oblivion Crisis, as it was the tower, and not its anchor, the Amulet of Kings, nor the symbol of the connection, the Dragonfires, which upheld the Lunar Lattice between Mundus and Oblivion.
