Is it true?
I can't recall where I read this... maybe it's just something that I made up while sleeping, since I can't find anything about this fact.
If it's true, are there going to be some consequences?
Hrothgar is one of the towers, I know that Martin sealed oblivion with is sacrifice, but towers weren't also built to preserve Mundus existance?
Now that 4 of the towers are gone (red mountain, numidium (was it really a tower?), white gold tower, hrothgar (maybe)) the power that prevented Mundus to fall in the anu/padomay state must be really weakened, maybe Akatosh/Alduin arrival as something to do with this.
Probably you've already discussed all off this, but i couldn't find anything with the search function.
Please be gentle, I'm kinda new to in-depth TES lore
