I'm summarize. Basically, everything on the page are ingredients for that hex. Some belong to a core 'narrative', in this case the wyvern and her young, but others are less indexed and more freeform. Sir Wayland's most obvious use is as a dim but charming monster hunter who's after the Wyvern, and that's why I added his squires ot the omens, to sort of tie those two togther, but Wayland could also be used a seperate encounter. The omen and portents themselves are something like the a countdown. When you're in that hex choices and actions by the PCs will sometimes leave an obvious opening to deploy an omen, as a sign of things to come if you like. There's no set order and no need to use all six, but they are supposed to fit together loosely. The Features at the bottom aren't directly linked to the main theme, but are jsimply evocative bits from the same hex that you can weave in for whatever reasons suit your fancy.
In Mythic Bastionland these pages are celled Myths, and one function there is that people outside the hex know about them and will relate that to interested PCs. Local types will know about the closest Myth (direction and name anyway), while adventurers or travelers might know about any one myth anywhere, and sages probably know everything about most myths. That gives you lots of easy narrative handholds and the PCs get some idea about what information various people are likely to have (which is always a plus).
Edit: From a practical layout standpoint everything you need to run the hex is all one one page, including stats, so there's no flipping around looking for stuff. Well, there might be if you also use random encounters, but not for the legend content.
