White-Gold was the Ayleids...although, going back further, it was the Divines. Its also heavily implied that the disappearance of the Moons was one-half eugenics experiment on the Khajiit and one-half, "Don't fuck with us."

The Ayleids are one of the descendants of the Aldmer. Pretty much all elves are descended from the High Elves. If the Mer never went to the Summerset Isles there would be no magic, tower, etc.
