—Alas, with his departure I've lost my best-paying client.

we’ll dance till one of us drops and i’ll tell you, doll, it ain’t gonna be me.

So is the name of your archnemesis just being your name in reverse a coincidence?

Well, he is M'aiq's evil doppelganger. So, no, it is not a coincidence.

—I've mentioned the sudden departure of Trebonius Artorius left me with a dearth of paying clients. And since the new Archmage didn't prove to be a connoisseur of Arts—for a time I had little choice but to consider some uncanny commissions, whose source one'd do well not to mention around Temple district, lest one plans to take lodgings at Baar Dau.

Will Bethesda ever do anything interesting with Peryite?

No. He is one of Bethesda's least favorite Princes, and as such, they have decided to pretend he doesn't exist. A shame, this one finds the Pits to be very interesting. Not exactly pleasant, so M'aiq does not visit often, but still interesting.

2020 can't possibly get any worse. (One of the few times a post ends up getting dated for the joke. If memory serves me right, this was right at the end of the year, a few days before New Year's Eve.)
