Ahnurr

Ahnurr is the Khajiiti version of Anu. 
==Creation==
According to Khajiiti legends, in the beginning, there were Ahnurr and Fadomai. Fadomai suggested that they make children, and so they did. Their first litter consisted of Khenarthi, Magrus, Mara, S'rendarr and either Alkosh or Akha, depending on which source you follow.Words of Clan Mother Ahnissi The Wandering Spirits They were pleased with these children, so Fadomai suggested to Ahnurr that they make more. and so it came to be that they had a second litter, consisting of Hermorah, Hircine, Merrunz, Mafala, Sangiin, Sheggorath and many others. 
At this point, Ahnurr decided that having two litters was enough. However, Fadomai tricked him into making her pregnant again. When Ahnurr caught Fadomai birthing, he struck Fadomai, forcing her to flee into the Great Darkness while her children protected her from Ahnurr's anger. To protect herself from Ahnurr, Fadomai gave her child Ja-Kha'jay the Lunar Lattice, so that Ahnurr could not cross. 
Eventually, Y'ffer would blurt out the secrets of how to cross the Lattice for all to hear, but Azurah closed the ears of Ahnurr so that he could not hear it.
==Interaction with other deities==
In some myths, Ahnurr's favored son was Akha the First Cat. Ahnurr encouraged Akha to find love the way he himself had found it with Fadomai. Akha mated with a lot of different mates before going south and disappearing, with Alkosh appearing in his place. In other myths, however, Alkosh takes Akha's role as the First Cat and Akha doesn't appear at all.
Ahnurr was less kind to some of his other children. Over time, he banished both Boethra and Merrunz, the former for her rebellious nature, the latter for his tendency towards being wild and destructive.The Adversarial Spirits
