Inish cloudmages began to secretly plot to bring the cloch back to the island. Negotiations were begun with Bryth, including possible ar-rangements of marriage to the RB of Inish Thuaidh, but she refused despite RB Mac Ard’s interest in that political union, and eventually married Anrai Beirne, a tiarna of Tuath Infochla.

648 to Rowan Beirne (M) Bryth’s son Rowan foolishly allowed 651 himself to be drawn north out of Falcarragh to a

753 to Edana O Broin (F) The daughter of Kinnat Morain, who 779 found the stone in her mam’s jewelry chest after her death due to the Bloody Flux. Edana and her husband took over the tavern. She had no idea that the stone was Lamh Shabhala; she kept it only because it had been her mam’s. She happened to be wearing it on the day Doyle Baroid came to Dun Kiil on business and stopped in the tavern for a drink and a meal.

779 to Doyle Baroid (M) A Brathair of the Order of Inishfeirm, 831 who recognized that the unprepossessing stone around Edana's neck was similar to the description of Lamh Shabhala in the Order's library. He purchased it from Edana, and brought it back to Inishfeirm. He would eventually become Maister of the Order. On his death, the cloch was put in the collection of the Order.

831 to During these two and a half centuries, there was no single 1075 Holder of the stone. The stone resided in the Order of Inishfeirm's collection of clochs na thrintri.

1075 Kerys Aoire (F) Kerys fell in love with a man named to Niall, one of the Brathairs of the Inishfeirm Order. Niall, 1093 as a pledge of his love, stole the cloch and gave it to

Kerys. Because the Brathairs were contracted by their families to the Order and were forbidden to marry,

Kerys and Niall fled Inishfeirm. Their small currach foundered in a storm; Niall drowned, but Kerys, pregnant, survived. She would give the cloch to her son, also named Niall.

1093 Niall Aoire (M) In traveling, he came to Tuath Gabair to and the village of Ballintubber, where he fell in love with 1113 and married a woman named Maeve Oldspring. Niall would lose the stone (or perhaps the stone lost him) while walking on Knob top, a hill near Ballintubber.
