The History of Azj-Kahet - 'Smelling History' Lore Achievement
Through the power of Polymorphic Translation, players can interact with scrolls across Azj-Kahet to uncover the depths of nerubian culture and earn the achievement Smelling History!
How to Complete
Unlike most other lore collection achievements, Smelling History cannot be earned simply by finding all of the books around the zone as usual. Instead, players must first purchase a Potion of Polymorphic Translation: Nerubian from vendors within Azj-Kahet, in order to comprehend the language of the nerubians. Be on the lookout for alchemy vendors like Assistant Ulo'vix or Apothecary Rz within the City of Threads to purchase the potion for a small amount of Kej. The buff from this lasts for just 10 minutes, so be sure to stock up or move swiftly across Azj-Kahet once you drink it!
From there, lore books can be sought out as usual, with plenty of tantalizing new pieces of lore that we spotlight below.

According to these scrolls, the nerubians developed strands of magic that they used not only to transform themselves from their basal forms into the towering sages or the fearsome scarab lords, but also pass on the memories of their past generations.
