Anu and Padomey are the two halves of the godhead (don't ask). Sithis is the embodiment of Padomey within the dream while Akatosh is the embodiment of Anu in the dream. Sithis refuses to exist in Mundus (assuming he has a consciousness at all like the gods and Daedra) and prefers to live in a realm completely out of Anu's control or influence, the void. Lorkhan isn't sithis but sithis's puppet who was supposed to destroy the Aurbis for him. But instead he created Mundus, which was not what Sithis wanted but he couldn't do a thing about it because one was bound to the void. Shor is the Nordic version of Lorkhan. Talos is not Lorkhan but used some complicated mantling magics to replace Lorkhan (or what was left of him) and took his power so he could become a god.
