Hey uh. So. What/who is Anu (I’ve heard at least one divine say oh my anu)
Because uh. My given name is Anu.
YOU'RE NAMED AFTER THE PRIMORDIAL CONCEPT OF LIGHT AND STASIS???
One art I'll always be proud of is this one, drawn far back in 2021. I just LOVE it. This is the Night Mother back when she still was mortal. And yes, she is Chimer here, not Dunmer, and OHHH BOY there are more of my headcanons to unpack :'D
So I have a headcanon that long before becoming a deity, Night Mother was a Morag Tong priestess and assassin who served both Mephala and Padomay/Sithis (there are hints in canon that before turning to serve only Mephala, MT also worshiped Sithis). After the War of the First Council, however, when Azura cursed the Chimer, Morag Tong decided to turn away from Sithis, wrongfully thinking he didn't protect them from the wrath of his child, and started to worship only Mephala. A woman, who later became the Night Mother, was angry because of this, so she left Morag Tong; after that she had children from Sithis and became a deity as in canonic events.
Fun fact: Night Mother is actually a character from whom Indoril Irna Mora developed into a different (and mortal :D) character. Irna also left Morag Tong; however, she did it much earlier because there were fluctuations in faith and customs long before the War of the First Council would even happen. Still, both Irna and Night Mother share same personality traits, such as fierce loyalty, motherly love, wisdom and femme fatale-like sexuality. And a lust for blood, too - they are both Velothi :D
On Anu/Padomay, Time, and Dragon Breaks
In addition to my “Dagoth is Lorkhan” theory, I have a theory that a Dragon Break happens, as it theoretically did during the battle of Red Mountain, when Lorkhan “wins” in his eternal cosmic battle with Akatosh. In other words, when he is able to take a mortal soul and put it through apotheosis, he is able to take a physical form, overwhelming the power of his rival Akatosh, and breaking him - breaking time itself.
But then it makes me wonder: is Time itself an Anuic or a Padomaic entity?
One would assume it’s Anuic, as Anuiel is the entity which created time, and this is understood as falling under the realm of order and stability - but time, as it works within the usual laws of physics, is also a limiting factor within the universe. Limits are Lorkhan’s, and therefore Padomay’s, sphere. A timeless, ageless world is what the Anuic religions of Nirn long for.
But maybe this is the point of Anu/Padomay forming the most basic enantiomorph - they are at odds with one another, but sometimes indistinguishable from one another, constantly in orbit and held in connection by opposite energies.
padomay (the final form of the last dragonborn) and anu scroll. they band together to defeat alduin as the only two beings superior over akatosh...
anu manifests on nirn as a sentient elder scroll to guide hrokr through climbing the prolix tower to be able to mantle padomay. after padomay-hrokr kills alduin and prevents the heat-death of the kalpa under anu's supervision, anu has to kill padomay again to exert control over them and re-coalesce aurbis.

okay so here's a question re: 36 lessons. i'm compiling some quotes and notes for the thing i've been thinking about, and i came across something i'm not actually sure of: does vivec recommend veneration of padhome? or just sithis?
there are seven instances of "padhome" being used in the lessons, three referring to the "altar of padhome," the other four as part of variations of the "GHARTOK PADHOME" incantation.
i had assumed vivec venerated or at least recommended veneration of padhome, but in sermon 16 he refers to "the altar of Padhome in the house of False Thinking," which seems to indicate a connection to the house of troubles. would vivec recommend venerating padhome if padhome was connected to the house of troubles?
but now that i'm thinking of it, sithis himself is only referred to four times in the lessons himself, always called "SITHISIT," with three of those references in just one sermon, sermon 10. and these references all seem somewhat neutral? i think i had assumed he was venerated by the dunmer bc of the positive spin the book "sithis" puts on him, which i've always headcanoned as being a text written directly by vivec himself, if not at least one of his closest followers.
would love to hear what you guys think!
Last night's sketch. I think this was supposed to be anu and padomay
