Hello fellow Nirn-lings,

I'm not sure if this question has been asked before. As the title of this topic might have already indicated:

What caused the Great Collapse at Winterhold?

Savos Aren, the Arch-Mage at the College of Winterhold, hinted at a theory that the eruption of Red Mountain had far reaching consequences that were felt much later. But I haven't yet found any other similar phenomenon that might have also been caused by the eruption (although my research into this has only been very limited).

Maybe some of you scholars might already have an answer.

Thank you for the education and your time.

Cheers
