You are mistaken about Y'ffre. All Ehlnofey didn't come from him. The line in the Monomyth is:

"Others, like Y'ffre, transformed themselves into the Ehlnofey, the Earthbones, so that the whole world might not die."

This means many different et'Ada became the Ehlnofey. The planes or planets only refer to the divines. The realm of Magnus is Aetherius.

Secondly, the The Annotated Anuad is a children's book and is a very basic explanation of creation, hence it has a few things wrong. In order to make it fit with all the other creation myths we have to assume that the 12 worlds of creation were created by the Aedra and not Anu. In terms of Aldmeris, Nu-Hatta asserts that the supposed original homeland of the Aldmer, is a myth. He explains the "destruction of Aldmeris" was in fact the schism that took place between the Aldmer, and that the concept of Aldmeris or Old Ehlnofey was simply a set of shared ideals Elves held at the beginning of time. All mortal life began on Tamriel.
 * Anu and Padomay enter the universe.
 * When they kill eachother their bodies form the Aurbis.
 * The spirits than then emerge within the Aurbis are either aligned with Anu (Anuic spirits) or Padomay (Padomaic spirits).
 * Lorkhan (a Padomaic spirit) travels the Aurbis and at some point he gets the idea that Mundus should be created.
 * Lorkhan then tricks/convinces other Et'Ada (spirits) to join him. Those that do become the Aedra and those that don't become the Daedra.
 * The Aedra create 12 worlds of creation (some think each world is a God) and mold them together to create Nirn.
 * Many of the Aedra die during the creation with some becoming Mortals to ensure life to continue on Mundus whilst some become the Earthbones, the Laws of Nature.
 * Many of the Aedra flee back to Aetherius (a part of Aurbis) and become the Magne-ge, tearing holes in Oblivion.
 * A large amount of Aedra are disappointed and angry of Mundus and seek revenge. These include the Old Ehlnofey whose leader was Auri-El and whose heroes included Trinimac, Phynaster, Syrabane....
 * They sought out Lorkhan in battle and warred with him. Lorkhan's followers included the Wandering Ehlnofey and whose heroes/leaders were Kyne, Tsun, Stuhn, Jhunal....
 * The War ended when Trinimac tore Lorkhan's heart out and Auri-El sent into the sea
