How to unlock the Barrow Scholar achievement in Neverwinter - Definitive Guide
But in total there are 6 barrows you'll need to go into and it's easy to miss the description of the 6th barrow since it is not required to read it in order to complete the quest.
So all you need to do is read all 6 of the descriptions for the barrows and the achievement is yours. Here is a screenshot of the last description in front of the 6th barrow and a map location.

To get this achievement you need to read 6 barrows located on Ebon Downs (You'll be able to acess this area when you reach around level 35-36 if I'm not wrong)

This can be achieved once you reach Ebon Downs. (There is a quest called "Lore of the Dead" that will lead you to five of the inscriptions. This is a side quest, however you can read the inscriptions prior to the quest if you wish.) At the entrance of each 'barrow' there is an inscription on an obelisk that you must read; during the aforementioned quest you'll attain five pieces of lore. The final inscription is found outside the barrow during the "Drowned King" quest which is the 'Drowned King's Saga' lore. You can check the achievement progress in the 'Journal' menu.
