Look at the quote I had above;

"The elven captives were set to work, bringing forth stone to build in their conqueror's fashion." I noticed Windhelm in ESO appears to be elvish. Bethesda forgot to add a lot of things in Skyrim (scaled-down in-game). For example Skyrim supposed to be a mountainous region full with Falmer ruins, but we've only seen one. The game need more lore-centric DLCs. We haven't seen much of the game yet, there is alot we don't know about. So don't make judgements yet.

I wasn't making judgments. I was just giving my opinion.

To me Windhelm looks like a mix of the Falmer ruins in the forgotten veil and most of the nord ruins.

Anyways Nedes took the white-gold tower from the Ayleids. Who's to say the Atmorans didn't take Windhelm from the Falmer and say they were forced to build it.

The conqueror's fashion could refer to making the Falmer rebuild Windhelm after the Atmotans conquered it.
