Other sources make a connection between them, but consider them different entities. Padomay and Sithis are sometimes considered the same entit, and the same is with Anu and Anui-El. Some form of the Anu and Padomay creation myth is present in the religious traditions of every culture in Tamriel, though they frequently have different names and some of the details may be changed. Some myths state that the Aedra come from the mixed blood of Anu and Padomay, while the Daedra come purely from the blood of Padomay. From the intermingling of their spilled blood came the 'et'Ada', or 'original spirits', who would go on to become either the Aedra or the Daedra depending on their actions during creation.

Anu then pulled Padomay and himself outside of time, ending Padomay's threat to creation 'forever'.

Padomay returned and wounded Anu, seeking to destroy Nirn. Anu salvaged the pieces of the twelve worlds to create one world: Nirn. Anu then wounded Padomay, presuming him dead. Padomay killed Nir and shattered the twelve worlds she gave birth to. Creation, sometimes anthropomorphized as the female entity 'Nir', favored Anu, which angered Padomay. Their interplay in the great 'void' of pre-creation led to creation itself.

Anu and Padomay are the anthropomorphized primordial forces of 'stasis/order/light' and 'change/chaos/darkness', respectively.
