A hand-printed flyer titled Weekly Nirn News! has been regularly appearing in major cities across Tamriel. Though most often used to wrap fried fish or line the cages of pets, it has a small, devoted following among the more eccentric populace. Its enigmatic author, who has till now remained both anonymous (and uncompensated), stunned loyal readers in its newest issue. Tucked in among the normal slew of scholarly articles (such as)--
King Jorunn’s Chilling Confession: I married Mannimarco!!!
Queen Ayrenn is pregnant--with an Ayleid love child!
Cold Harbor--Warm Heart? Molag Bal goes soft for Vivec!
--is an unprecedented invitation to adventure!
M’Aiq the Liar--the True Hero of Nirn!?
Is he Daedric or Divine? Eternal or eternally reborn? Evidence suggests M’Aiq the liar has appeared throughout history during times of crisis, shepherding the great heroes of each age! Whether you think he’s a normal Khajit or a mysterious prophet, the author of the Weekly Nirn News! wants to talk to you! Any and all religious devotees, enthusiasts, and scholars of M’Aiq the Liar who want to find the truth!! should meet at the Boatman’s Tail in Mistral, Khenarthi’s Roost! No autographs or rapid portraiture permitted.
Some enterprising conspiracy theorists/cultists/gullible characters are going to go travel Tamriel in order to find at least one spawn location (per zone) of M'Aiq the liar. The goal here is to both have a little fun and also explore the more 'out there' possibilities of ESO lore (see: conspiracy theories, moon sugar ravings, cryptids). Also, the end result should be the "I Like M'Aiq" achievement which awards a rare grey dye. My character (Madura), the secretive author of Weekly Nirn News and self-proclaimed cryptohistorian scholar will be participating/slightly leading things. No tin foil helmets required, but Khajit masks highly encouraged.
Never heard about the Cult of the Liar? Aren't sure there even is such a thing? Well not to worry--through rigorous debate and unknown obstacles, this group is going to construct some kind of religion and spread it far and wide. So if you have opinions or theories or half-baked ideas that could somehow be applied to a recurring character from Elder Scrolls, feel free to express yourself because the only lore here is lore disturbed people are consistently misinterpreting. The only requirement is that (unless your character is a skeptic or non-believer) you do seriously believe in these conspiracy theories. There is also a chance Sheogorath may be involved, bc this is VERY much a Sheogorath-style quest. Expect to get drunk and marry a harpy.
If that sounds good, let's discuss times! My best availability is Tuesday-Wednesday, Friday-Saturday from 2-11 p.m. EST. We'll probably schedule an initial group event (at the Inn in Mistral) to get the event going, but anyone who wants to rp side stuff like tavern talks or cult meetings can just go ahead with they bad selves. Since we're starting a cult, my assumption is there will be a mixture of conformity and dissent regardless, and eventually some sort of idealogical schism.
Current suggestions for the cult include: wearing Khajit masks/clothing, dressing all in grey, speaking like M'Aiq, and using only bare fists to fight. I'm sure I've missed some so lemme know and I'll add more later.

Your character doesn't have to be mad to join the quest--but it sure doesn't hurt!
