The problem with the Void, Padomay and Sithis is that their natures are very much depending on the writer. There's the original void before Anu and Padomya showed up, and sometimes Padomay is called a void, and sometimes Sithis is called a void. But going with MK's vision Padomay isn't Void, he's Change, and Sithis isn't Void, but Division (anon Misanthropy, anon Limits). The motion that split Anu into Aurbis. So I'm gonna say that the original Void is that vast emptiness outside of the Aurbis, outside Anu and Padomay. This is where Lorkhan went to see the Wheel turn sideways and become the Tower that is I.

On this void, Vivec says this: " Anu and Padhome, stasis and change, both vast realms sitting in the void, Outside the wheel is the void, bereft of anything. It cannot be named. If it has more aspects than stasis and change, they are outside of true language."

Oblivion is the myth-echo of the Void. Nocturnal is its firstborn, and possibly an aspect of the original. If all the daedra were to go to Aetherius, I doubt she'd be the most powerful. But in Oblivion, the mythical pattern deems her the strongest. Because patterns are that important in TES.
