But there is no way we would have not heard about that. Yeah, we'd know about that. But also if I'm not mistaken, the Great Collapse happened in between Oblivion and Skyrim (200 years). Which means Winterhold was intact during the events of Oblivion, in which you could obtain Azura's Star. So there goes that theory.

Edit: "''The Great Collapse was a geological event that devastated Winterhold. In 4E 122." ''Taken from The Great Collapse wiki page.

So yeah it's a good bit of time after oblivion, meaning while Winterhold was still intact, the Hero of Kvatch had the star. It couldn't have been there
