White-Gold Tower

White Gold Tower is an ancient and well-known Ayleid structure, located in the Imperial City on the province of Cyrodiil. Its existence predates the rise of man and the writing of history in the Imperial Province. Today it's used mainly as the home of the Elder Council and the priceless Elder Scrolls. The tower is the tallest building in Cyrodiil, and can be seen from almost anywhere in the province. Most elevated locations amongst the land can easily be used as a surveying-post to look at the ancient wonder. The Thieves' Guild quest, The Ultimate Heist, involves the taking of an Elder Scroll, deep within the caverns of the city.

Oblivion
In Oblivion, White Gold Tower serves as the "Imperial Palace" for noblemen and members of the Elder Council, as well as the Emperor (though, this time around, no emperors present). Although the Elder Coucil resides in the Tower, they do more than debate the status of their Empire: they protect the Elder Scroll. The Palace itself is heavily guarded by Imperial Palace Guards, and the second floor and above are restricted to citizens and residents of the Imperial City. The Tower stands above Green Emperor Way, which is filled with the gravestones of fallen people who most likely served their duty in the Legion, or held a high status within the governing officialdom of Cyrodiil.

Trivia

 * In the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, White Gold Tower can be seen if one is to use the "no-clip" command on the PC version of the game and travel past the border of Skyrim. However, it is a low detailed version of it. The provinces of Cyrodiil and also Morrowind are present beyond the borders of Skyrim, perhaps suggesting future DLC in these regions.
 * Alternatively, the white gold tower can be seen from the southern border of Skyrim.
