I think the god Magnus put the eye on Tamriel to give Mer, Mages, & any with affliction to magic their magical properties but it became fought over to obtain it's magical properties to form a higher race. So Magnus then hid it to keep the thrive of magic throughout Tamriel so magic wouldbe a preserved art forever.
