The Khajiit religion, while quite different from that of men and mer, is still clearly derived from the old Aldmeri pantheon. The Khajiit creation myth includes references to powerful ancestor cats with strikingly familiar names. Their legends start with the original litter mates, Ahnurr and Fadomai ( Anu and Padomay ). These two gave birth to all of the great spiritual children, including Alkosh the first cat ( Akatosh ), Khenarthi ( Kynareth ), Magrus ( Magnus ), Mara, and S'rendarr ( Stendarr ). A second litter of children soon followed, including Merrunz ( Mehrunes Dagon ), Mafala ( Mephala ), and Sangiin ( Sanguine ), among others. Ahnurr did not want further children, but Fadomai was persuaded by her elder children to birth one more litter, this final group containing Azurah ( Azura ), Nirni ( Nirn ), and the moons. At this, Ahnurr became angry at Fadomai, who fled to the void, and birthed one last child, Lorkhaj ( Lorkhan ). Fadomai knew she was dying, her life having been drained by her birth, but she gave to Nirni a gift, that she would birth children of her own.
