Not to be confused with General Jonna.

Jonna is a Redguard innkeeper in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim who resides in Morthal.

Background[]

"Runnin' an inn weren't my plan. But, Falion decided to move here, so I joined him."
―Jonna[src]

She is the sister of Falion and the owner of the Moorside Inn. When the Dragonborn talks to her, she will say that business is slow in Morthal.

She sells various food and drinks, and a room can be rented for 10 Gold, as with all innkeepers.

Interactions[]

Laid to Rest[]

When asked about the burnt-down house right next to the inn, she will tell the Dragonborn about Hroggar and his family who recently passed away in the fire. This will start the quest.

Dialogue[]

General[]

Is business in Morthal slow? "Slow? No. It just ain't there at all. Few enough reasons to pass through Morthal before the war started. Now... Well, let's just say the front door doesn't get much use." What's with the Orc? "Lurbuk? Fancies himself a bard. He pays, so I let him stay. If I had any customers, I'd be worried about him annoying them. But, well... Look around." Where can I learn more about magic? "You lookin' for Falion? Why don't you go bother those mages at their College in Winterhold and leave my brother alone?"

Laid to Rest[]

Before starting the quest, after discovering the ruined house:

Is there a story behind that burned down house? "Hroggar's house? It burned down not too long ago. It's a real pity about his wife and kid. The screams woke half the town. Most folk won't go near it now for fear it's cursed."

How did the fire start? "Hroggar claims it was a hearth fire. Some folks say Hroggar started it himself."
With his own wife and child inside? "That's what they say. See, he's living with Alva now. That started the day after the fire. It ain't right, movin' in with a new love the day after your kin die like that."
And, of course, they can't prove he murdered them. "Aye. Our Jarl would sure like to know if he did, though. Might even pay to find out."

After talking to Helgi:

I saw Helgi's ghost. "The poor child is probably beggin' for us to string up her murderin' father. Best tell the Jarl."

After confronting Laelette:

What can you tell me about Laelette? "Now there's a mystery. She ran away when the war started. Her husband, Thonnir, was devastated. No note or nothin'. I'm pretty sure she up and joined the Stormcloaks."

Conversations[]

Alva[]

Alva: "Why, good evening Jonna!" Jonna: "What can I getcha, Alva?" Alva: "What can't you get me, sweetie?" Jonna: "Umm... Did you want somethin' to eat?" Alva: "Eat? No, I don't think I'm... hungry. Not now, at least." Jonna: "Right. Okay, tell me if you change yer mind."

Aslfur[]

Jonna: "When are you gonna do somethin' to help Falion? Stop people sayin' things about him?" Aslfur: "You have to understand, his presence here has caused... Well, it's difficult for the people to get used to." Jonna: "They got used to Idgrod just fine, didn't they? So what's the difference?" Aslfur: "Yes, well. Perhaps you're right."

Aslfur: "How's business?" Jonna: "Very funny." Aslfur: "No, I... I was just asking." Jonna: "It's as bad as ever."

Lurbuk[]

Lurbuk: "Jonna, do you think that the townspeople are warming to my serenades?" Jonna: "No. They ain't. And they aren't gonna. If you weren't paying for your room, I'd have thrown you out a long time ago." Lurbuk: "Yes. But they'll come around. You'll see." Jonna: "Oh. I wouldn't be surprised if they came 'round. And you're never seen or heard from again."

Lurbuk: "I'm thinking about composing a song about you, Jonna. Would you prefer I proclaim your beauty, your strength, your..." Jonna: "Nah. Just...don't. Leave me outta it." Lurbuk: "No interest in being immortalized in song? Remembered and praised for all eternity?" Jonna: "No. I mean it." Lurbuk: "When I'm known throughout Tamriel, you'll regret this decision."
