Looked up Crystal-Like-Law, and it was destroyed after the amulet of kings when the invasion already had started.

When and how did Snow-Throat get destroyed? And is Khajiit not only the race but also a tower? Can't find antyhing about that.

I don't know anything about Khajiit or Green-Sap, there's a short text about Green-Sap, but it basically just said that it was a walking city made out of trees, and that it finally settled down somewhere and rooted. The stone of Red Mountain was the Heart of Lorkhan. The reason why the Heart needed to be removed was because Dagoth Ur was able to use it to dream himself alive and was only able to be defeated if the Heart was removed from the world. The Nerevarine achieved this with the tools of Kagrenac, the tonal devices originally used on the Heart by the Dwemer to anti-create themselves into the Anumidium. The fall of the Tribunal was a side-effect of the removal of Lorkhan's Heart, without the Heart they lost their mortal divinity.

I'm not sure when exactly Snow-Throat was deactivated. However, it is known that it was deactivated as it was part of the Alduin prophecy. It may have been the civil war that deactivated it. The Khajiit themselves are believed to be a Tower, the mane being their stone.

It is speculated that the settling of Green-Sap may mean the Tower was deactivated.
