Kokarca Loui

CanonOfficial lore from the books▶ Actual play

Kokarca Loui is the innkeeper of Jonathan's Place in Sınır Sapı, in the campaign Zincirsiz ("Unchained"), a man of about sixty who works with a staff of waiters. People call him Kokarca, "Skunk". He explains that in the first month of the quarantine, when no supplies came, he caught skunks and weasels nearby and made a stew of their meat that people came to love, and that this, not any bad smell, is the source of the name.123

The supply agreement

As keeper of the largest and oldest inn, he says, he came to an agreement with the governor: since the supply of only one house could be safeguarded, his was the one allowed to bring goods from outside, and he sells to townsfolk who cannot produce for themselves. He worries that he cannot spend what he earns beyond the walls, and that his customers will run out of coin.4

A source of news

He told Jonathan River about the people of the region and the news of the sickness: of the legion's mage, of the post set aside for the Federation's elves, of Ektelyon, of the young governor caught between orders and townsfolk, and of the witch hunters, who were said to claim that those they killed had attacked them in sickness. Much of this was hearsay.45

When Jonathan and Olaf came back after a long absence, he reckoned they had been gone twelve or thirteen days, said their room had been kept empty, and took a further payment. Olaf asked him about the captain's family and solitary life, and it was at his inn that the governor's son Tim came, with guards, to invite the pair to dinner.678

After the explosion in the town he said that the guards wanted to search the inn, that people from the countryside had been gathered into the town because of the sickness, and that he had heard of very few cases lately. He explained that there were few starving street children because those in need went to the orphanage, which Tim helped, and told Jonathan where to find it.910

When Jonathan's party came down wearing the crest of the governor's house, he wished them well. On their return at the end of the town's troubles, before a crowd listening to Jonathan's tale, he declared that his inn would now be called Jonathan's Place.1112
