Anu, known more commonly as "An," is the name of the Mesopotamian creator deity.

Time allowed the realm of Aurbis to realize its natures and limitations, and thus the et'Ada born from the blood finally began to take forms and names. Anui-El's soul was known as Auri-El and began a new force known as time. In order to stabilize the Aurbis and further his self-reflection, Anui-El birthed his own soul in the same way as Anu before him. Anui-El then noticed that the world created in their conflict, the Aurbis, was turbulent and chaotic. However, as Anu created Anui-El, Padomay birthed his own soul, Sithis, who represented all the limitations of Anui-El. This reborn soul was known as Anui-El and, in turn, became the soul of all things. In Aldmeri belief, Anu birthed his own soul after his battle with Padomay, so that he could understand himself and self-reflect. However, the authenticity of this clash is still debatable. Their mixed blood supposedly gave birth to the Aedra, while Anu's blood became the Magna Ge and Padomay's blood would end up giving birth to the Daedra. Īccording to this account, the et'Ada were created when Anu and Padomay's blood was spilled. Padomay, who Anu already thought dead, stabbed him through the chest, resulting in Anu pulling himself and Padomay out of time forever. Anu then created Nirn out of the remainder of the Twelve Worlds. Anu and Padomay fought over Nir, who died in the process. In The Annotated Anuad, it is stated that, when Anu and Padomay came into being, they both engaged in combat over Nir, who was "created from their interplay" and birthed the Twelve Worlds of Creation. Anu is neither an Aedra nor a Daedra he predates the creation of both groups and played a part in their creation with his counterpart Padomay.
