Kamala

 the Maven is the orc owner of the Weary Way tavern in the Lantern Spire of Jrusar. As an NPC, she is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Kamala is a female orc. She has long, somewhat curly black hair with wisps of gray. She wears thick, rough-looking glasses that look almost sandblasted, and in her capacity as tavernkeeper of the Weary Way she wears a leathern apron.

Personality
Kamala is described as wearing a "boisterous smile" on her face. She speaks with a very deep, rough voice.

Background
Kamala says she earned the name "maven" due to her expertise in caring for people who get drunk in her tavern. Imogen Temult and Laudna became familiar with her establishment during their sojourn in Jrusar trying to gain access to the Starpoint Conservatory libraries.

Campaign Three: Bell's Hells
Seeking brunch at a location less crowded than the Spire by Fire, Imogen led the party to the Weary Way Tavern. Kamala served them and commented they were an "interesting" party.

The party later spoke to her about getting access to Dugger's room in the tavern.
