The manuscript uses the original pages from the, Great Book of Laran. The book was written during the reign of Thengill Ruaraidh Pettneurcha (Ardrigh Ruaraidh Pettneurcha), and continued though reigns of the various Thengill, until the death of Mhari Urhagan at the hands of Renn the Gothi. The manuscript was intended to preserves the Kindred of Laran's right to rule as well as its linage.

The Book of Laran, consists of two parts, the Order of Gealach and Grith and the Annals of Laran.

Order of Gealach and Grith
In Iubhrach, the Mother Moon Gealach, and the Father Sun Grith, looked down upon the Kindred of Laran, and blessed them. It was under Gealach's will that Buddug dreamt of a hinterland coast, and it was Grith who instructed Dyrmundur to settle eastward, and build a home where golden water flows. And through dreams given by Gealach, Edraith and Carandolhel where told of a eldritch land, and sailed eastward to with there kin. Their son Nethanar met with the Shepherdess Erchelil, and their union was blessed. Their son Adhareolas would travel to where Dyrmundur and Buddug had built their home, under Gealach's guiding light. There daughter of Dyrmundur and Buddug, Cartimandua, was gifted a rose by the Grith, and under his guidance, she met Adhareolas. From the two Ruaraidh was born, and from the grace of Gealach and Grith, he would lead the Kindred of Laran.

May the Mother Moon and Father Sun Bless thee.
