—M'aiq the Liar[1]
M'aiq the Liar (or M'Aiq the Liar)[2] is the name used by certain peculiar Khajiit from throughout Tamrielic history. Each known individual with this name is a strange male Khajiit, who claims great knowledge but speaks of many false or implausible things, with only occasional truths. Comments made by some of these liars and an inscription on a flute discovered in Crow's Wood seem to imply there is a long bloodline of Khajiit with the same name,[3][4] though some of the comments made by M'aiq also imply they might somehow be a single immortal individual.[5][4]
M'aiq the Liar is a notorious figure among the inhabitants of Tamriel,[6][7] with rumors even existing (likely spread by M'aiq himself) about him being responsible for slaying Dagoth Ur, solving the Oblivion crisis, and ending the war in Skyrim.[5]
