The race of Zoons is unable to tell lies, but anyone who might attempt to tell a proto-lie, such as "actually, my grandfather was quite tall" is encouraged to develop his skill, and could eventually become the official Tribal Liar for all the Zoons: he would then deal with all negotiations with other races. Said other races get offended by this and think they should have picked a more acceptable term, like "diplomat" or "politician". The Zoons reply that this is exactly their point. Mentioned in Equal Rites, Amschat B'hal Zoon was the current Liar at this time.
