When a Tower is deactivated (which has happened with Snow-Throat, Orichalc, Walk-Brass, Red Moutain, White-Gold, Crystal-Like-Law, and some believe both the Khajiit and Green-Sap) the Wheel of Convention is weakened. If by the godly soul gem you mean the Mantella, then that isn't something that can be easily reproduced (it was made from the Heart of a/many Shezarrine(s) after all).

Sithis and Aka (who are on different subgradient levels) did not create the Towers.The first tower was Ada-Mantia, I'm not exactly sure who made it, could have been Magnus or possibly Auriel, maybe all the Aedra helped.

Akatosh's vessel planted itself into Nirn and became the Adamantine Tower, also known as Ada-mantia or Ur-Tower, and it was on this first tower that the Convention took place Nu-Mantia Intercept, Letter #4

The Second, Red Mountain, was made when Lorkhan's Heart was thrown to Nirn. The rest were apparently made by elves (though I'd rather doubt the Elves actually built the Throat of the World). The reason the Towers were created was to either support or refute creation, depending on the race of Elves that made them. Okay, so Orichalc was a tower on Yokuda which was destoyed when it sank or something. Read something about some guy tying to do some pokémon move and the tower being destroyed by it. Walk-Brass was destroyed by the Underking whoever that is, Wulfharth or Zurin, when they took their soul from the mantella. The White-gold tower was destroyed when someone in the Oblivion game (I think) was assasinated, and the medal of kings thing was stolen or something. But then the barrier was restored by... destroying the amulet? What? Why didn't they do that directly?

Red mountain was destroyed in Morrowind right? The nerevarine removed it to defeat the Tribunal or something. And how did he/she remove it?As I've never played it and not read much about it, isn't it better to let the Tribunal rule instead of risking a daedric invasion?

Looked up Crystal-Like-Law, and it was destroyed after the amulet of kings when the invasion already had started.

When and how did Snow-Throat get destroyed? And is Khajiit not only the race but also a tower? Can't find antyhing about that.

I don't know anything about Khajiit or Green-Sap, there's a short text about Green-Sap, but it basically just said that it was a walking city made out of trees, and that it finally settled down somewhere and rooted.
