Shalidor did not create Eyevea: he bought it from the Altmer, as he explains in quest dialogue in the Glade of the Divines.

{{Lore Link|Shalidor|Arch-Mage Shalidor}} was an immensely powerful wizard in the {{Lore Link|First Era}} who had an understanding of {{Lore Link|magic}} few have ever matched, and his numerous but scattered writings are highly sought after.{{ref|name=AMM|{{Cite book|A Minor Maze}}}}{{ref|name=SRUrag|[[Skyrim:Urag gro-Shub|Urag gro-Shub's]] dialogue in [[SR:Skyrim|Skyrim]].}} There are many legends surrounding Shalidor's life, such as how he built the city of [[Lore:Winterhold (city)|Winterhold]] with a whispered spell, how he stole the secret of life from {{Lore Link|Akatosh}}, and how he single-handedly fought against the [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]] legions of clan [[Lore:Rourken|Rourken]] at the {{Lore Link|Battle of Rourken-Shalidor}} (in which the [[Lore:Spell Breaker|Spell Breaker]] is said to have been used).{{ref|name=AMM}}{{ref|name=TL|{{Cite book|Tamrielic Lore}}}} Many of these stories are believed to be hyperbole or outright fabrications.

Shalidor is also credited for establishing a sanctuary for all mages across the ages on the island of {{Lore Link|Eyevea}}, an outlier island in the Summerset archipelago which he obtained from the High Elves in exchange for some minor artifacts. He bargained the island away to [[Lore:Sheogorath|Sheogorath]] in exchange for the {{Lore Link|Folium Discognitum}}, a bargain which he later came to regret. His obsession to recover Eyevea from Sheogorath occupied him so much as to cost him the love of his wife, {{Lore Link|Ulfsild}}.
