It could still be that Skyforge was part of the mountian once, the Falmer had some cave into the mountain, & some stone like the Eye of Magnus was there.

The Dwemer might have wanted to experiment with the stone, so they took it and bothered the Falmer, the Atmorans later found the it after the Dwemer were done with it, and the Falmer found out. The rest is history, but this is just a theory.

It could have been a similar case to that of Red Mountain.

Who knows, maybe the Dwemer knew about these "towers" and wanted to use the stones to surpass mortality and control reality?
