Anu is the godhead. The simplest way of putting it is that the entire TES universe exists in his mind as a dream. He has no control over anything within his dream. The same goes for Padomay who is kind of Anu within the dream.

And no AWC, I'm Thalmor. I just understand what he truly is which allows me the ability to destroy him and his hold on Mundus so we can return to the Dawn.
