'''Araj Oblodra''' is a Drow trader in [[Moonrise Towers]]. Other than the items she sells, she also asks to speak with [[Astarion]], and offers you a potion in exchange for a sample of your blood.

== Speaking with Astarion ==
When you bring Astarion to speak with her, she asks him to bite her so that she may study the effects of vampire bites up close. She offers a {{SmIconLink|Potion of Animal Speaking Icon.png|Potion of Everlasting Vigour}} in exchange, which permanently increases the [[Strength]] of the one drinking it by 2. Astarion does not wish to do this, because there is something wrong with Araj's blood, but he will do it if you ask him to, no ability check required (although he does disapprove).

== Blood for Potions ==
Araj offers potions in exchange for True Soul blood. With a DC 14 [[Intelligence]] ([[History]]) check, you can determine that she wants [[Illithid]] blood rather than [[True Soul]] blood specifically, and if you reveal what you know of her intentions she'll up her offer to 200 gold along with each potion.

Each character may give blood once, taking a small amount of damage. The potion you receive depends on the race of the character giving the blood. As with standard elixirs, the effects go away when you take a long rest.

== Unstable Blood ==
You can find Araj again in the [[Lower City]] of Baldur's Gate in Act 3.

As the player approaches her shop, Crimson Draughts, just east of [[The Blushing Mermaid]], a series of explosions will begin and Araj will come running out, on fire and thrilled. She'll offer the player a potion, the newest results of her research.

This "Mysterious Potion", once drunk, causes the character to permanently gain the {{SmIconLink|Generic Blood Icon.png|Unstable Blood}} passive feature, turning their blood into a flammable explosive.

== Trivia ==

* As of the current year, House Oblodra is considered a defunct Drow House, who were destroyed due to their association with Psionics and Illithids before and during the Time of Troubles. Very few survived the House's destruction, making Araj Oblodra one of few members left alive
** The only other two known survivors are [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/K%27yorl_Odran K'yorl Odran], a Matron Mother of the house, and [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Kimmuriel_Oblodra Kimmuriel Oblodra], who had joined the Bregan D'aerthe after the house's fall.
