Winglord's Perch: Finds From the Cliffside
Winglord's Perch: Finds From the Cliffside is a tome found at [61.3, 31.3] at the Azerothian Archives in Thaldraszus alongside Thoughts on the Tower Treasures and Notes on the Centaur Riverbed. Like other Azerothian Archives tomes, pages will be added after completing relevant world quests at Winglord's Perch in the Forbidden Reach.
<This book is a compilation of notes written in Roska's handwriting. The pages are predictably dirt smudged.
There are several sections earmarked.>

This little cliffside island is made up of granite, which means its rocks are very hard but very brittle.
We weren't able to dig down very far, but that's all right, because the rocks weren't hiding anything. Most of what we wanted was going to be in the topsoil or under rubble anyway.
Because it's so far out into the ocean though, this place gets battered by the elements--salty winds, enormous waves, storms--and all that can take a toll on the archaeological record.
Not to mention they could sweep an unwary archaeologist out to sea!

This cache must have been stored somewhere for thousands of years only coming to the surface when the bridge collapsed.
Sure, it's not as valuable as some of the other stuff we dig up, but mundane objects like this are exciting for other reasons. We get to see what people thought was important enough to store centuries ago and maybe figure out how they made their food or wine!
After consulting with some of the dragonkin that still remain on the island, we opened up the cache to find a store of ancient, blue honey! This batch was too salty to eat after centuries in sea water, but there's hope we might make more in the future.
