>I think I see something hanging from a branch near the top right conner
That's some moss, I think. It's pretty common to see hanging from trees or vines in the tropical regions of Layridin.

I don't feel anything radiating from the book. I place my hand on it and nothing seems to happen. No decay, no rot, no creepy skeleton hand or anything, so I assume it's safe to pick up. It's large, like it was designed for something with hands way bigger than mine, or a picture book or something. I flip through the pages and it appears to all be blank. I flip through it again the other way just to be sure and notice words on the first page this time.
It looks like it's written in Skylean, the written language most commonly used by Nedynvor on the Sky Dragon. Luckily, I happen to be familiar with Skylean. It looks to be some kind of journal?
"Day 02. I finally have some time to sit and rest. Our ship was lost in a storm, and I washed ashore on this, I assume, island. Luckily, my companion Aiden washed up just down the beach from me, there were no signs of any other survivors. We managed to collect what we could from supplies that washed ashore, or that what we had on us, and pushed inland. We've made camp in a small clearing in the jungle. Aiden says he found a fresh water stream near by. I had him mark the trail using scraps of my handkerchief so we could easily find our way there and back. Perhaps the most peculiar thing though, is that when I went back to the beach to search for more supplies that may have washed up, I found the ancient wreckage of a ship that wasn't there yesterday. Further down the beach, near where I washed up, I also discovered a small, make-shift camp of sorts. There were a few barrels and old bottles sitting out in the sand next to a large piece of sail cloth bundled around some books. Sadly, the books were either shredded up or claimed by the elements, they would have probably been helpful to pass the time here. The barrels looked old, but the salt and salted meats inside looked to still be preserved well enough. The meat won't help me much, but Aiden will certainly benefit from it. I had him help me drag the two barrels back to camp. Tomorrow I hope to press further inland to do some exploring while Aiden will begin work on a signal fire with wood taken from the ship wreckage."
