From The Page (May, 1973)
[Perhaps a bit of explanaton is in order. The Canton of Gorgonoth, in Riverside County, is technically part of the Barony of the Angels. Its inhabitants are said to be mostly exiled Calafians. The Canton is sufficiently removed from both Baronies that it plans and holds its events more or less independently. Someday the Principality of the South will get it all together.]
The Canton of Gorgonoth will hold a tournament on Saturday, May 12, from 11 am or thereabouts till dusk. It will be held in Fairmount Park in Riverside. To get there (directions omitted). There will be no cooking contest. Alys von Markheim will be autocrat.
