Anu>Anuiel>Aka (possibly Aka-Tusk). This is the sub-gradient path of Anu. The other side is Padomay>Sithis>Lorkhan. Both Aka and Lorkhan got shattered in some way.

Two Towers were created by gods, as has been stated. Adamantine Tower and Red Mountain. The other Towers were created by mer in hopes of mimicking Auriel and achieving divinity (he walked the 1st Way). However, they built the Towers "upside down" in a metaphysical sense and instead of pushing towards divinity it instead reaffirmed mortality. You could think of them as roots that plant themselves in reality to help stabilize Mundus.

Convention is the Zero-Stone, the stone for Ada-Mantia. Talos is thought of as Convention 2.0 sometimes in that he may have taken over as the stone, he mantled Lorkhan, he took the place of the Missing God, and he became the force that holds Mundus together. Regardless of the power level of these beings, Talos is by far the most important. This list, by the way, is Kirkbride's. This list is the closest we'll probably ever get to accurate.

The deactivation of the Snow-throat is up in the air. No one can quite agree on when it was deactivated or what its stone, The Cave, actually is. Basically the argument: the Dragonborn prophecy talks about it being deactivated. The other side: The prophecy says it's bleeding, not gone, and in all of the other TES games the Prisoner is responsible for the deactivation of the tower.

The Khajiit tower being deactivated comes from the fact that the Mane was assassinated.
