wat 84.202.179.147's Reference for Dummies

Vvardenfell holds the red mountain, a volcano likely based on tokien's series of books known as the Lord of the Rings, later adapted into a movie format. In this series, a dark and unforgiven land, separated from the rest of the land by a land feature. In the original content it was mountains, but in the games it has been replaced by water. The tower he was referring to was where a long dead and evil lord of this land, named sauron, could see, as his essence was preserved through magic. It may have been replaced by the Numidium, a great dwarven automaton also called the brass tower in the third installment of the Elder Scrolls series, Morrowind. The dark lord was replaced by Dagoth Ur, an "Ash Vampire", who is undead, somewhat like the origina tale. The Daedric armor he mentioned looks somewhat like the dark lord Sauron's armor when he lived in his true form. I believe, however, that the impression would be better suited with a mace rather than a staff.

(I was bored and just decided to explain this like whoever reads it has lived under a rock their whole life. Sorry if it seems like I am trying to make your simple reply of, "wat", seem idiotic.) I said "wat" because the first post made no sense to me. Why take Vvardenfell when it is basically unlivable, and then why just build a tower with no rhyme or reason behind it? And then the person becomes a "Dark Lord" and takes over Tamriel with a... destruction staff? As in the cheap 2000 septim ones?

I have played Morrowind for exactly 117 hours (according to Steam) and I do pay attention to lore, in case you were wondering. I doubt he was making a LOTR reference, by the way.
