The '''Barony of Southron Gaard''' is based in Christchurch, [[New Zealand]]. It was officially recognised as a [[Shire]] of the [[Kingdom of Caid]] in [[A.S. XVIII]]. It became a [[Barony]] in [[A.S. XXXI]], with Sigurd Hardrada and Eleanora van den Bogaerde as the first [[Baron]] and [[Baroness]]. In [[A.S. XXXVII]] the lands of Southron Gaard passed to the [[Kingdom of Lochac]].

The Incipient [[College]] of [[St Kessog]] was formed as a sub-group of the Barony at the University of Otago in Dunedin towards the end of [[AS XL]]. The Barony also enjoys warm relations with a steel group based at the University of Canterbury, known as [[Ordo Cygni]].

Southron Gaard's best-known event is [[Canterbury Faire]], a 5-6 day camping event held around February 6th each year. Among those who have grown up with [[Festival]], CF is frequently described as "Festival, the way it used to be". Locals add: "no mudde, no duste, no venymous fauna".
