Padomay is a sentient force existing outside of the Aurbis. He's basicly Chaos.

Sithis is his "watered down" (one Subgradient lower than him, to be exact), which can also be called his soul.

Many people speculate that the Night Mother could actually be Mephala or Vivec's female side simply wanting to control the DB because of various reasons.

The DB worships Sithis as a god, although he technicly is not God (as in Aedra).
