The Adamantine Tower was supposedly built by the Aedra in the Merethic Era (ME 2500).

The purpose of the Tower's construction was to convene and decide a punishment for Lorkan for tricking them into creating the mortal plane.

The outcome of the Convention was to seperate Lorkan from his divine heart.

According to the Elder Scrolls timeline, the Convention is the event that marks the end of the Dawn Era and the start of the Merethic Era.

Okay, but...

...How can the Adamantine tower have been built during the Merethic Era if, by definition, the Merethic Era doesn't begin until the Convention takes place AFTER the tower's construction?

Even if you say that the Merethic Era begins with the Tower's construction, would that not then make the construction year ME 0?
