The Only thing created by Anu alone was Padomay

There is a common misconception especially when it comes to the mixing of Anu and Padomay's blood which contradicts other statements of the Lore. First off, Aedra means Our Ancestors in the Lore of the Elves while Daedra means Not Our Ancestors and the two sides both aedra and daedra have a common origin. Its mostly the Altmer that attempts to separate the two groups. Before the Aedra and the Daedra, there were the Et'ada, the Original Spirits and there were many of them in the beginning. Eventually one took on a personality, the first who would become known as Akatosh and with him came the march of time which allowed the others to develop their own personalities. After some time, the Et'ada Lorkhan got an idea and worked with Magnus to create a new world by using their powers.

Some Et'ada agreed, having become interested in the project. These would become known as the Aedra (who were supposed to have both created by both Anu's and Padomay's blood) and the Manga Ge (who were supposed to have been created by Anu's blood). Others who refused to help create Mundus would become known as the Daedra (who were supposed to have been created by Padomay's blood). The Aedra and Manga Ge proceeded to create Mundus but some of them realized that during this process, they were losing a great deal of power. Upon discovery, Mangus was the first to leave with most of his power intact punching a massive hole into the dimensions and returned to Aetherius. The others, who would be known as Manga Ge swiftly followed, punching their own smaller holes into the dimensions before any of them could be bound to Mundus.

Those Et'ada that would remain to become the Divines, willing stayed and continued to become weaker and weaker. As a result they became bound to creation including its effects such as death when the planets and moons that they embody are destroyed.
