Indeed, Shor is not All Maker. Shor is Nordic version of Lorkhan. He was involved in creation like Padomay, but he didn't create all the devines. Padomay and Lorkhan (Shor) worked together to create Mundus, Mortal plane. If I am not too confused Padomay wanted all the devines to take active roles in mortal dealing, like helping them directly. He almost swayed his twin brother Akatosh (Au-riel) to follow up on that. However, all other devines didn't agree and cast Padomay into Oblivion, where he became Sithis. If that how it was, Sithis is the only Devine that resides in the realm of Oblivion. Lorkhan (Shor) from what I gathered, had similar ideals to Padomay, especially towards men. He wished to help them, but all of the Mer devines killed him at Adomentine tower and Auriel himself shot Lorkhan's heart over the Padomaic Ocean, where it turned into Red Mountain, and probably Vardenfell.

If I am getting this right, Shor is the father of men. Well at least to the extent of his wife Kyne (Kynareth) is the mother of men. Oh funny how Auriel and Akatosh considered to be one and the same and appearantly Auriel is the father of mer, while Akatosh father of Dragons. Does that mean that Mer and Dragons are related? Although Orsimer whould be an exception, since Trinimac created them, after being turned into Malakath by Boethia. Perhaps that is why Elf-Grinder only does extra dammage to Altmer, Bosmer and Dunmer, but not the Orsimer.

Oh and I did not know that Anu is considered a devine too, I though that that what primovial spirit or energy is described as, the one that gave birth to all the devines. Starting with Auriel (Akatosh) and Padomay (Sithis). Akatosh was the first devine to appear, but since Sithis was his twin, he would have appeared together with him.
