The Tower is a strange concept. According to Vivec, the Tower is basically realizing that you exist in a universe where everything is actually one thing (the dreamer), yet keeping your individuality from the "one thing".

"Imagine that and then still being able to say “I”. The “I” is the Tower"

-Vehk's Teachings

The reason why a person who achieves CHIM sees the tower is because seeing the tower is needed to achieve CHIM.

Also Lorkhan never achieved CHIM, he simply learned of its existence by viewing the Tower.

Lorkhan apparently failed CHIM. He didn't zero sum, though. Lorkhan also wanted to create Mundus to make it easier to achieve CHIM and later Amaranth.

Every Tower on Mundus is therefoer a "mirror image" of the original I-Tower. Towers on Mundus are apparently created by some kind of "Dawn Magic" which was lost over the time. Hermaeus Mora, being the keeper of all forbidden knowledge, could know what this Dawn Magic is and how to use it. Nothing would stop him from creating a Tower in his own realm (even though it wouldn't make much sense, since his realm won't become non-existent if there is no tower).

By  the way, since CHIM is forbidden knowledge and since Molag Bal and even Mehrunes Dagon seem to know about it, couldn't it be possible that Hermaeus Mora also knows it or has it written in a Black Book? The "Waking Dreams" Black Book even mentions the Godhead. 'Lorkhan apparently failed CHIM. He didn't zero sum, though.

Supposedly Mundus was actually an attempt to achieve CHIM, Lorkhan built it to reflect the Universe and show people the "I" so they can learn of the Prolix Tower as he did. The reason he failed CHIM was because he thought showing people how to not achieve CHIM was more important than showing people how it should be achieved. This did end up getting him killed though.

Every Tower on Mundus is therefoer a "mirror image" of the original I-Tower.

And so is apparently Mundus.

'couldn't it be possible that Hermaeus Mora also knows it or has it written in a Black Book? The "Waking Dreams" Black Book even mentions the Godhead. '

I think he definitely knows.
