Oblivion Gates
Oblivion Gates are portals of some kind to Dagon's realm of Oblivion. It looks very evil, with lava (which, oddly, you can swim through or use a Water Walking Spell on, but it rapidly damages your health), Daedric creatures, and even plants that fight back!
Oblivion gates are a staple in the Main Quest, and according to Martin, the portals shouldn't be possible. But since the Emperor died at the start of the game, and the Dragonsfires are dark, they can now be summoned. You can close them, of course, but it isn't easy. But there are two reasons why you should make it a practice:
1. Taking the Sigil Stone in the tower will close the gate, but you can keep the stone to make Enchantments. At the highest levels, the Transcendent Sigil Stones offer the best enchantments in the game. Transcendent Sigil Stones start appearing at level 17.
2. Closing Oblivion gates increases your fame. This is helpful for infamous characters (although you could also just complete the Pilgram's Way).
In the Realm of Oblivion, plants can fight back. The Harrada Root can swipe at you for five points of damage. The spiddal stick plant casts a Drain Speed spell if you get too close. The effect can stack, so be careful.
