Vivec is the anticipation of Mephala; the whole anticipations business comes from Vivec's rewrting of history. The Chimer (pre-Dunmer) originally worshiped the Three "Good" Daedra until the Tribunal showed up. Vivec basically changed the universe to say, "Oh those Daedra guys? They were just keeping our seats warm for us", and each of the Tribunal members mantled the places of their respective "anticipations".
