The Coral Tower

TheCoral TowerofColdharbouris a reconstructed imitation of theCoral TowerofThras.It is located in theFist of Stoneregion, in a ship graveyard known as theLost Fleet.The structure is similar to other Daedric architecture in Coldharbour, wrought from an ebony-alloy cold-ironbut withcoralfrom Thras incorporated into its construction.

The Coral Tower is located directly beneath a portal that connects Coldharbour toNirn.This portal was originally located at the apex of the Coral Tower of Thras, but descended into theAbecean Seaand formed a whirlpool when the original Tower was brought down by theAll-Flags Navycirca1E 2260.It is possible that this whirlpool is the infamousMaelstrom of Bal.

When the whirlpool formed, half the fleet of the All-Flags Navy were pulled into the maelstrom and transported to Coldharbour, where they fell from the sky and onto the dead landscape below. The fleet was believed to have vanished without a trace by the citizens of Tamriel, save for a compass stored inRulanyil's Fall.Many members of the crew survived the fall, and the captain of theGolden Eramade a pact withMolag Bal.He became theLost Fleet Admiraland was given theCrown of Bones,cursing himself and the sailors to eternal undeath asskeletons,but allowing him total control over their actions. The admiral commanded his crew to begin construction of a new Coral Tower, hoping to use it to reach the portal in the sky and return to Nirn.

The Lost Fleet Admiral was slain byTamrielicinvaders in2E 582and construction ended on the Coral Tower, although it is unknown if the skeletal sailors were freed from the control of the Crown of Bones.
