Anui - El Anui - El , also known as Anuiel , Aniel , and Satak , and not to be confused with Auri - El , is a deity of the Aldmeri Pantheon that is the representation of everlasting ineffable light as well as the soul of all living things . Anui - El is the soul of Anu , and in turn Auri - El is the soul of Anui - El . Anui - El is also known to be the opposite force to Sithis , just as Anu is the opposite force of Padomay . History . After the clash of Anu and Padomay , Anu birthed his own soul so that he could know himself and self - reflect . This soul of his was known as Anui - El and in turn became the soul of all things . But as Anu created Anui - El , Padomay birthed his soul , Sithis , who represented all the limitations of Anui - El . The interplay between Anui - El and Sithis created what is known as the Aurbis . The Aurbis at first was turbulent and confusing . In order to stabilize the Aurbis , as well as self - reflect , Anui - El birthed his own soul like his father before him . Anui - El ' s soul was known as Auri - El and began a new force known as time . Time allowed the Aurbis to realize its natures and limitations and in turn the Original Spirits began to form and take names . At the same time Anui - El birthed Auri - El , Sithis birthed his soul , Lorkhan , a being based more on limitation than nature . Sithis begot Lorkhan to destroy Anui - El and the Aurbis with him . When Lorkhan was created he filled the universe with a myriad of ideas and deceived Anui - El and his aspects into thinking he was one of them , but unknown to Anui - El Lorkhan ' s ideas were based solely on limitation . Lorkhan gained many followers , including Auri - El , after forming the idea to create a " soul " for the Aurbis ( Mundus ) which would allow other Original Spirits to form many aspects and self - reflect . Mundus however was a trick and was filled with limitation , the aspects of the Et ' Ada began to die off and with them their respective deities . Magnus and a few other Et ' Ada , later known as the Magna Ge , escaped Mundus , but Auri - El and a few other Et ' Ada were trapped in the realm . Auri - El begged Anu to free them from Mundus but Anu had already filled Auri - El ' s place with another aspect . Anui - El on the other hand gave Auri - El his Bow and Shield to defeat Lorkhan . Anui - El and the All - Maker . The Altmer i concept of Anui - El is very similar to the Skaal ic concept of the All - Maker . A few parallels can be drawn between the two forces such as each of them being considered beings that encompass the souls of all living things . Each entities are also known to have equal yet opposite forces , in Anui - El ' s case being Sithis , and the All - Maker ' s case , The Adversary . It is possible that Anui - El and the All - Maker are the same deity just worshiped differently . Conflicts . In the book " Sithis " , it is implied that Anui - El was merely an idea of Sithis formed after he broke Anu ' s endless stasis , but unlike his other ideas Anui - El would not die and " enslaved " the universe , creating everlasting imperfection . This is contradicted by the book " The Monomyth " , which states that Sithis was originated from Anui - El ' s self - reflection , being the sum of all limitations Anui - El needed to ponder himself . However , " Vehk ' s Teaching " maintains that Sithis is just the offspring of Padomay and Anui - El is just the offspring of Anu . It could somehow be that each of these are true in a certain way as the events took place in the Dawn Era when time was not linear .
