Bear Witness drops off the Etherwyrms in the area. Took me around a dozen kills. It DOES show on the mobs tooltip- I was just stupid and running around looking near the NPCs for a bit.
Killed 12 wyrms before Bear Witness dropped

Description
Greetings. You must be the new aspirant everyone is talking about. I thought you might like to learn more about us. There are three tomes that would serve you well as a starting point, but they are not currently in the library. Aspirant Leda was the last to hold "Worlds Beyond Counting." Aspirant Ikaran has yet to return "The Infinite Treatises." It seems "Bear Witness: The Watcher's Code" went missing some time ago. I would search the village. Once returned, you can read them at your leisure.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
