I like to believe Sithis and Anu were so goddamn weakened ((Remember, the aedra were weakened incredibly by the creation of Nirn. How much power do you think Padomay/Sithis and Anu had left after they had created the Et'Ada? Remember, there were more Et'Ada than there are stars in TES' skyline. That's quite damn many. That's why Sithis can only speak to one person ((The Night Mother)), why he needs his children to send him souls to feed on and why Anu never speaks to anyone at all. I actually have a theory, claiming that Oblivion is what remains of Sithis' body, and Aetherius is the remains of Anu. The void is the soul/spirit of Sithis, his mind, his soul. And as a body without a soul is almost powerless, so is a soul without a body almost powerless as well. Thus, Sithis and Anu are reduced to mere spirits, with no body/plane, and are therefore weaker than any other god so far. In their prime, I believe Anu and Padomay were the strongest things ever. But who says Anu won?
