Padomay (Originally known by the unpronounceable name PSJJJJ) is the unconscious and disembodied Concept of Change, and the mirror-opposite of Anu, the featureless Concept of Stasis. It is the quintessential force of chaos and creation, with all possibility, shape and definition being born from its interplay with Anu, which acts as the primordial force of order and stability. Padomay is a wholly impersonal idea, devoid of all consciousness and cognition, and thus incapable of perceiving itself and reality around it. Therefore, so that Padomay might know itself, it unconsciously birthed its own subgradient, the empty Void of Sithis, the primordial Embodiment of Nonexistence which acts as Padomay's conscious "soul".
While Sithis' counterpart Anui-El is a vague, distant entity worshiped primarily by the Altmer as the Light of Anu and the Soul of All Things, the Soul of Padomay is held far greater esteem and is worshiped by many cultures and groups throughout Tamriel. The Dunmer of Morrowind view Sithis as the Original Creator, who broke the eternal, primordial stillness by introducing chaotic change onto the universe. Meanwhile, the Argonians of Black Marsh see Sithis as the uncaring force of cyclical change, neither positive nor negative, but always needed. Finally, the most infamous, and by far the most erroneous interpretation of Sithis comes from the Dark Brotherhood cult of assassins, who worship him as a skeletal Dread Father who brings death and terror to the world.
