Just a random thought that occured after I heard of the Mace of Doom. I was like 'Hey, wasn't that mentioned in a book some where?'
The Mace of Doom is acquired using a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Unique_Items#Unique_Blades. Pretty sure you knew that, this is just for others.
No mention in the lore, though, sorry. You were probably getting it confused with the Mace of Molag Bal.
