What pillars, and how so? Towers, sorry. I sometimes confuse a similar concept for what I'm actually trying to talk about when I haven't focused on that topic in a while. :( Sorry. These are the Towers. (I dunno why it says it's an external link - it's a wiki page. *frowny*)

And as to how you would restore the stones - I don't know yet. :D Isn't it fun?

- WorshipsMeridia Let's see: The Zero Stone/Adamantine Tower is indestructible until the Thalmor start blotting aedra other than Talos from the picture.

Red Mountain has violently reacted to the removal of the Heart of Lorkhan, so unless Lorkhan's heart survived Morrowind and everything bad that could have possibly happened to it in any AND all possible situations where it continues, we can't do anything there. If it DID survive, we might as well shoot it between the moons and fix Lorkhan. At no price less than a massive penalty from Azura as she has to rewire the Khajit child system coupled with a lengthy lecture about how she hates Lorkhan that will serve as fuel for funny videos for months to come. Also, the Nerevarine destroyed the Heart of Lorkhan, so unless Lorkhan magically un-destroyed his heart, this paragraph is rather pointless.

The Daedra toppled and destroyed Crystal-Like-Law. The Thalmor probably destroyed the stone/crystal as well after the Oblivion Crisis once they realized it was against their goal. We COULD recover some parts.

GTG at the second, will finish later. I can see no reason to fix Lorkhan. :) However, as far as I can see from the Wiki article, the Heart wasn't actually destroyed, just kind of....deactivated. In which case, if you found it, you could probably figure out some kind of magic to reactivate it (especially with the help of Cata's vampiric Dwemer).

It's quite possible, given that Crystal-Like-Law was an archive and institute, that its stone was something so valuable to the Altmer in terms of information or magical power that they couldn't bear to part with it, although the tower may have been destroyed regardless when the Daedra attacked.

Nobody knows what the stone for the Throat of the World is, although I'm partial to the Eye of Magnus theory, myself, in which case the Blessed of Jyggalag would have to make some sort of pact or at the very least communication with the Psijic Order, who currently have the Eye for safekeeping. Fun, fun, fun quests there, huh?

I don't remember any of the other ones except that walking tree one in Valenwood, and we don't know much about that, do we?

- WorshipsMeridia The Heart of Lorkhan is essentially the Heart of Nirn so if the Heart was destroyed Nirn would be as well, so it could be down there somewhere. Very true.
