ESO Question: Are the Tribunal at the head of their power, or no?
If the answer to this question simply is a matter of the plotholes and retcons typical of ESO lore, cool makes sense. However, I'd like to ask in case there's instead something I'm missing. It was my assumption that, given Dagoth awoke in 2E 882, and the events of ESO begin in 2E 582, the Tribunal still maintained an uninterrupted and continuous connection to Red Mountain, the Heart of Lorkhan, and could be considered at the height of their power.
But in an early, base game quest in Stonefalls, a character comments in the Night of the Soul quest that "We see the Three less every year. They no longer make their annual pilgrimage to Red Mountain on Vvardenfell, and no one knows why", implying their power hasn't exactly waned, but is beginning to do so.
Is this just a plot hole? Or is there a particular lore-bit that I've missed. It's nagged me quite a bit.
Thanks so much in advance!
