Akatosh isn't Anu and Lorkhan isn't Padomay. It's true that they're subgradients of them, but everything inside the Aurbis is a subgradient of Anu & Padomay, which are the first subgradient of the Godhead. Not really. Akatosh and Lorkhan are the literal embodiment of Anu and Padomay. They are sort of like the Aedric equivilent of Avatars. Have you read the books Sithis or Monomyth? Akatosh and Lorkhan are a whole different beast to the normal et'Ada as they reflect Anu and Padomay in their fullest.

"Like Anu and Padomay, though, every one of these pantheons contains the archetypes of the Dragon God and the Missing God. "-Monomyth

"So that he might know himself this way, too,   Anu created Auriel, the soul of his soul. "-Monomyth

"upsetting the status quo much like his father Padomay had introduced instability into the universe.   "-Monomyth

"AE HERMA MORA  ALTADOON PADHOME LKHAN AE AI. "('Knowledge is the weapon of Change; Lorkhan is I.) -Sithis

As I said, they are subgradients of them.

The Monomyth says that Auriel is Anu's soul. A subgradient.

Sithis and the Monomyth say that Lorkhan is Padomays 'son'. A subgradient.
