'''Araj Oblodra''' is a Drow trader and blood-focused alchemist who can be found in [[Moonrise Towers]] and the [[Lower City]] of Baldur's Gate. 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.

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" causes a small explosion when drunk, and imbues the consuming character with the permanent {{SmIconLink|Generic Blood Icon.png|Unstable Blood}} passive feature, turning their blood into a flammable explosive.
In the locked basement of her shop, you can discover the butchered remains of several less-voluntary participants in Araj's research. Her journal also reveals the true purpose of her research, to find a way to restore House Oblodra to its former glory, or failing that, to exact explosive vengeance for the fallen house.
== History ==
Araj Oblodra is part of the now defunct House Oblodra. Over a century ago, an alliance of rival drow destroyed her House, due to their association with psionics and illithids before and during the Time of Troubles. House Oblodra was known for, among other things, reckless experimentation with illithid breeding-stock.
Very few survived the House's destruction, making Araj Oblodra one of few members left alive. The only other two known survivors of House Oblodra [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.
