At least that how I understood the whole meaning of towers. I believe when Mondus was first created, it was way too unstable and after they took down Lorkhan, who stood in their way of scraping Mondus; they have realized that perhaps they could fix it. So, they created The Towers, to hold the creation in place. As well as used what remained of Lorkhans body in making Nirn and Mondus more stable. In the way, Lorkhan/Shor was reconsiled in that way by his brethren, despised what Altmer generaly believe. Or at least that how it seems to me. The only two towers that were created to hold Mundus in place were Ada-Mantia, and Red Mountain, the towers made by the gods.

All the other towers were built by the Mer, to mimic the gods, and tried to either destroy the world, or get the Mer out of it via some means, as the Mer view Mundus as Lorkhan's trap.


 * -Brass Tower sought to reverse the process of creation, creating the divine from the deaths of the mortal.
 * -Crystal Tower used dracochrysalis, trapping elder energy and preventing it from decaying into a lesser form.
 * -White-Gold, and the surrounding city, were built to mimic the shape of Mundus so the Ayleids could pluck at its strings
 * -etc. etc.

The Elven towers only brought stability to the world because they harvested Atherieral energy that flowed into Oblivion, but that was not their primary purpose, just a consequence of it. Then perhaps they seek to deactivate those two towers, since devines meant for them to provide stability in the first place? If they needed more anchors like those to hold Mondus together, they would make them too. By the way, what about few other towers, just rumors? I know someone mentioned that Orichalcum and Green Sap towers might not even exist in true lore, but what about the Snow Troat, or Snow White tower? The Troat of the World in other word, is that also a rummored tower? If Orichalcum, Green Sap and Snow White towers really do exist in the sense of towers, I am sure that they could have been there long before any mer constructed their towers. Perhaps, if at least one of them is real, it would be also put in place by the devines who stabilized Mondus.

Not all of the towers were built by devines and not all of them were meant as stabilizers for creation. But don't you think those who would be after undoing the creation, would also be after those few towers that were put by devines. It may be so that Red Mountain had been deactivated, the stone for that one was the heart of Lorkhan and by cutting it off of Autherius, they basicaly turned off it's power that also gave power to Red Mountain. Perhaps that is why it had been errupting lately more often and more catastrofic. Now as far as Ada Mentia tower goes, I am not sure if there ever were records saying that someone got to do something to it, ever since the devines left it. So this one should still be good however, for the sake of humanity, there better be other towers left by devines. If Aldmeri Dominion, under Thalmor, will get to High Rock and would do something to deactivate Ada Mentia (If it is still activated), then it will definetly be the end of the world. By the way, it is probably still activated, since if there are only two towers as people been saying, and one of them definetly deactivated; wouldn't it be the end of the Mondus already, if Ada Mentia was not activated?
