Orichalc was on Yokuda, right? So that would mean that that tower is gone, some Redguard tried a trick with a sword and sank the entire continent... Ta dah? I always assume Falinesti is deactivated considering it's lack of movement just about the time that Thalmor rolled into Valenwood, because you know, the Thalmor being evil and wanting the dissolvement of reality and mortality to become the gods that Ehlnofey once were. Crystal-Like-Law was "obliterated by the Daedra" after Alinor was given full Thalmor control after a series of royal assassinations, conincidence right?

Of course we know about Red Mountain, Brass Tower and White-Gold. I reckon that Adamantine Tower isn't an active tower since it was the conference room where the Anu aligned Et'Ada, the Aedra, decided how to slaughter Lorkhan and make Red Tower, kind of like a template for them to nail the whole anchoring reality thing. :) But I could be wrong...

As for Snow-Throat I do not know. I always thought that the "Stone" which CAN be absolutely anything just like the Towers themselves, was the High King's rule over Skyrim and the peace maintained in such a troubled nation because of the whole "When the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood" part of Alduin's Wall and Snow Tower being "Sundered, Kingless, Bleeding" but the Cave and the Eye of Magnus is very intriguing, and The Cave came from the man himself so we can't argue much with that. Anyway that's just what I thought.

After the appearance of Skyrim as a game we can assume that Snow Tower is gone, whatever it was. Given our TES Protag's habits for destroying the anchors of reality in every major instalment since Daggerfall, the Dovahkiin probably did it somewhere if he was involved at all, that is. The next game doesn't need to be focussed on the Towers of course, it's more a creepy undertone that us chosen few can see in the story, but TES never seems to repeat it's settings where the modern major instalments are concerned. That leaves Summerset Isle, Elsweyr, Argonia (Although they now own half of Morrowind, and that's a whole different can of worms) and Valenwood...

Btw I would think it a beautiful trick of fate if the downtrodden, drug slinging, literal alley cats of Tamriel were our only hope but with the Mane being gone as a poster said above there's not much chance of their tower being active. I vote for Valenwood to be maybe the only tower left. If they don't fast forward two hundred years again then we could see guerilla warfare against the Dominion and their overzealous Imga in the shaded forests of Valenwood for the next game given the harsh Dominion's ruling over the Wood Elves since there's a bit of man in them, so they're inferior plus it poses a strategical advantage in the war against the Dominion with docks leading to the Dominion's front door in The Isles.

Hell with next gen engines maybe Valenwood and Elsweyr could both be in the game? Anyway maybe we could unravel the mystery of Falinesti and the Moons after all and save the world... Until another race of snivelling, elitist taskmasters try to destroy reality the second time round... Anyway I've rambled on a bit now but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on anything or just add your two cents. :)
