Confused with the Creation Myth(s)

Post » Sat Feb 01, 2014 5:48 am

I tried to get an idea of how the world of TES is created,but the info I found is so confusing and conflicting some times that I got confused! :confused:

I read an article in UESP and it says that in the beggining there was Anu and Nir gave birth to the physical world in Mundus,and they loved each other so much that another deity that came from the Void (Padomay) attacked Nir,and then Anu sealed them both away and stayed alone in Mundus.

In another article on the same site I read that in the beggining the first couple was Anu and Padomay which were both males and brothers,and had a gay relationship,and out of their six they somehow birthed a daughter named Nir.Then Anu decided to make six with his daughter and when Nir got pregnant it gave birth to the 12 worlds.Then Anu's brother / husband got jealous and decided to hurt his nephew and shutter the 12 worlds,and then Anu sent them both away,and took the pieces of the 12 worlds and joined them to create Nirn.

What to make out ?

Was the first couple Anu and Padomay,or Anu and Nir ?

Is Nir the daughter of Anu,or a deity that had no family relationships with Anu before becoming lovers ?

Is Padomay a male or a female ?

If it's a male,is it also a brother of Anu,and does that mean that they committed incist ?

If both Anu and Padomay are males,how did they birthed ?

Did Anu had six with both his brother and daughter ?
