Adaari powers

So, according to the tablet and then codex entry at the end of Taash's personal quest, adaari do more than breathe fire to fight the Devouring Storm.

Aadari can see the enemy.

I wonder if that is poetic or a mistranslation. Aside from fire breathing, Taash has another innate but unusual ability: their sense of smell.

All of the mentions of the Executors mention their briny smell.

I wonder if the adaari's sense of smell is what helps them locate and fight the enemy, not their eyesight.

Codex entry text transcription:

Taash's New Tablet

I am Taash. I am an adaari--a fire-breathing Qunari.

I am writing this in Trade so people can read it.

Dragon fire made these words show up. Don't trust anything not hidden that way.

Ancient Qunari made adaari using dragon blood. Adaari helped see and fight an ancient enemy.

Ancient Qunari fled to this land from across the sea. They got sick and died.

The enemy will follow across the sea.

Beware the Devouring Storm.

(Neve Gallus figured out how to hide these words behind fire. I owe her drinks at the Cobbled Swan.)

--Words carved on a stone tablet, visible only by dragon fire
