Anu was attempting to save creation when Padomay rose and stabbed Anu through the chest, Anu fought and was able to pull them both outside of time. After a long and furious battle, Anu came out the victor.

Anu returned, and the brothers fought a second and final time. He drew his sword and essentially 'shattered' creation. After many ages, Padomay returned to time, he saw life and hated it. Shortly after, Nirn gave birth to creation, but died from injuries. Anu returned, and they fought, Anu defeated Padomay and cast him outside time. She told him she did not love him, only Anu. Nirn became pregnant, but before she gave birth, Padomay returned to attempt to win her love. Padomay was distraught by this news, and out of disappointment and jealousy retreated from the mortal plane. Both Anu and Padomay loved Nirn, but, naturally Nirn loved only Anu. As Anu and Padomay wandered the mortal plane, the interplay of light and darkness between the brothers created the physical body of Nirn.

The creation of Nirn and life began as Anu and Padomay (the brothers) entered the void, this is also when time began. Another theory is that Lorkhan tricked the Original Spirits to create Nirn. Some believe Lorkhan(whose bones form the physical body of Nirn)forced the Original Spirits to create the mortal plane for his own desires. There are numerous theories on the subject of Nirns creation. Nirn is essentially a planet floating in the void of Oblivion, or ' space'.
