Compare the Tamrielic pantheon with real-world ancient pantheons. In Greek Mythology, there are buckets loads of primordial beings, conciebly more powerful than Zeus, that are not worshipped. Despite Nyx, Erebos, Ouranos, and Pontos being immensely powerful and primordial than their descendant Zeus, they were not worship nearly as much as Zeus. This is because the ancient Greeks believed these protogenoi were less influencial on mankind (the exception may be Gaia). It is stated in the lore that the gods' power is based on how often they interact in human affairs, and Anu doesn't seem to interact with mankind very much at all.

Anybody else notice Anu shares the name of both a Celtic mother goddess as well as a Mesopotamian Sky god?
