Farek (05/10/2005 - 07/27/2005)
After challenging for Overlord Damien Mortis's crown, Farek inexplicably rescinded his challenge and announced his retirement as Baron of Dockside.

Max Quinlan Blue (09/01/2005 - 01/26/2006)
Max Quinlan Blue became the newest Baron of Dockside after helping Grayson MacLeod ascend to the Overlord's throne.

After Grayson was removed from the Overlord seat, Max pressed challenge to Overlord Rena Cronin from this Baron residence. In a best of three format Rena defended her crown and Max remained Baron of Dockside.

Two months later, Max was challenged by Jonathan Ecorian Havoick to, as the challenger stated, “grind a final axe between them.” This challenge was met only days later in a single duel format. Max dueled under the black and jade colors of Atrebla with Altara his Lady of Honor and Grayson his Second. Cory only announced the particulars of Anjolie Quinn as his Lady of Honor. Max was able to defend his title in nine rounds winning by a score of five to three.

Max was next challenged by Caedia Thorn. Caedia received the Overlord Grant from her brother, Tareth Thorn. Max had requested she challenge him, and so she obliged him by doing such. The two met in a single duel format. Caedia came to the match with an entourage of support that included her brother, the Overlord, as Second, Gnort Dragoon as financial backer, Kheldar Drasinia as her Man of Honor, and Charlie Jericho as motivational coach all under the colors of the Company of the Dragon. Max, in a hurry to be done with the event, had no particulars announced for the match. Though the duel ended in a few rounds of traded attacks and points, Caedia stood alone the victor after ten rounds.

Caedia Thorn (01/26/2006 - 02/15/2006)
Caedia's first challenge came merely two weeks after winning the title. Warlord Gork challenged he disagreed with the premise that a Commoner should be able to gain Baron from an Overlord grant and that a dueler with one WoL needed to be tested. The challenge proved to be a test on both combatants as it stretched a full three duels before a winner emerged. After Caedia jumped out to an eight round, 5-4 opening victory, Gork rallied back to take the title with two strong wins. With final scores of 5-2 in six rounds, and 5-1 in eight rounds, Gork became the new holder of Dockside.

Joshua "Gork" Skinner (02/15/2006 - 03/06/2006)
Immediately after winning the title, Gork was challenged by Face Loran. After a week with no word from the new Baron, the matter was sent to the Baronial council. The Council stripped Gork of his title and returned Face his peer wins.

G'nort Dragoon Talanador (04/30/2006 - 04/10/2007)
With nearly three months before the next Warlord's tournament, the Duel of Swords staff decided to hold a special King of the Ring event to find the next Barony of Dockside. Only ten duelers were invited to the event which pitted all ten opponents in the ring at the same time. The invitations for the ten duelers were handed out based on a competition that spanned four weeks of regular dueling. Of the ten who received invitations, the duo of G'nort Dragoon Talanador and Kaja Adair proved it takes teamwork to survive a battle royal. Reportedly lovers at the time, G'nort and Kaja teamed up on the unsuspecting until they were the only two left in the ring. At that point, G'nort did the gentlemanly thing to do and flipped Kaja out of the ring to win the event himself. With his victory, G'nort claimed the Barony of Dockside.

Challenges were scarce to a dueler of G'nort's caliber. Thus, G'nort's first challenge came months into his career. The challenge came from Ticallion Carter and was part of a group of challenges issued by a group known as the Wrecking Crew. The group had made a name for itself in the Team Dueling League and was now seeking to control a majority of the Baron's council. However, Tical's challenge would be the extent of what he could offer as G'nort bested him with a shut out.

Three weeks shy of his one year anniversary, G'nort faced challenge from Grandmaster Jaycynda Ashleana. Jaycy was bestowed the Overlord grant by Overlord Anjolie Quinn in part because Jaycy had a desire to see all of the titles in the Duel of Swords held by women. At the time of her challenge, five of the eight titles were in female hands, with the Old Market District lying vacant. After Jaycy was through with G'nort, that number jumped to six. Jaycy overcame an early two point deficit to rally back and defeat G, 5.5 – 4 in sixteen rounds. The match also featured G’nort breaking his own G’nort 3:16 rule and dropping a point with an unsuccessful slash.

Jaycynda Ashleana (04/10/2007 - 10/31/2008)
Claiming that she wanted the opportunity to take a title from Cletus Ganderfald, Jaycynda next challenged for the mantle. However, she was unable to defeat the Overlord.

In an attempt to increase his holdings throughout the city of Rhydin, Overlord Ganderfald bestowed his grant to his loyal employee, Aurora Blackmane. Aurora was a rising star in the Arena, reaching the rank of Grand Master in only a few short weeks. However, her skill could not propel her past Baroness Ashleana. In six quick rounds, Jaycy defended her title with a five to two win.

Teagan Rielea (02/22/2009 - 07/25/2009)
Baroness Ashleana retired the title of Dockside due to what she felt was an invalid challenge. The Barons Council convened and appointed Bran Bale as champion of Dockside against Face Loran, the challenger. Bran defeated Face and the Barony of Dockside remained vacant until Teagan Rielea claimed it in the next Warlord tournament

Teagan's first challenge came from Overlord Grant recipient, Jay Capistrano, who won Overlord Tormay Elude's Four Duelist invitational tournament in order to be awarded the grant. Though Jay won the Grant and used it to issue challenge to Teagan for Dockside, there unfortunately is no information as to the result of this challenge other than the knowledge that Teagan was victorious.

Teagan's second challenge came from Warlord Ticallion Carter, who claimed he didn't have any reasons beyond business interests in the Dockside district that would benefit from his holding that title, and that the challenge was nothing personal.

The Baroness chose to defend in a single match format, but it was the Warlord who proved to be the better on that night as he defeated her by the score of 5-2 in 10 rounds.

Ticallion Carter (07/25/2009 - 10/20/2009)
Ticallions first challenge came from Warlord Guill Fortis, who attempted to set his own conditions on the match that would have resulted in a waste of time and energy by everyone involved in an attempt to do so out of his own version of what an honorable challenge entailed. Upon having his conditions outright rejected by the Duel of Swords Commissioner, Guill then withdrew his challenge.

Ticallion's first actual challenge then came from Warlord Anubis KArons, who issued on the basis that Ticallion did not come to Anubis' aid during his challenge to the Old Temple district, when he was tested by the Overlord at the time, Teagan Rielea.

All that is currently known, at this time, is that the Baron failed to defend his title against the Warlord, who took the title of Baron of Dockside by defeating him in a Best of Three format.

Anubis Karos (10/20/2009 - 11/02/2009)
Shortly after winning the Barony of Dockside, Anubis issued challenge to Overlady Teagan Rielea, citing her interference in his previous challenge for the Old Temple District. After defeating the Overlady, Anubis awarded the Barony of Dockside to Vanion Shadowcast, who championed Anubis in the Test of Worthiness.

Vanion Knightwood-Shadowcast (11/02/2009 - 02/09/2010)
After defeating Teagan to become the 83rd Overlord, Anubis awarded his former Barony to Vanion Shadowcast, who championed him against the former Overlady's Test of Worthiness. He was quickly challenged by Warlord Joex Rodlain.

The night of the challenge came, and Vanion had brought in a gruesome display of a crucified female, later animated to place blame for her death on the challenger in an attempt to distract him during the match. When time for the challenge came, it was first the Overlord, Anubis Karos who stepped in to test the Warlord. Renegade Baroness Jaycy Ashleana interceded on behalf of the Warlord and quickly defeated the Overlord by a score of 5-1 in 6 rounds.

This cleared the way for the Warlord to face off against the Baron. Distracted or not, Joex was only able to score in the first round. After that, the match belonged to the Baron who defended his title, winning by the same score of 5-1 in a slightly longer 8 rounds.

Some time after this challenge, Vanion held a Squire Tournament to determine who would learn the dark arts from him. After Twenty One rounds in a special tournament designed by the Baron, Kaylin Rumblegutter emerged victorious as the Barons Squire.

Vanion then issued challenge to the Overlord, while Neo Eternity issued challenge to the Baron. Vanion failed to appear for either challenge match and was ruled in forfeit of his title. This also cost Kaylin Rumblegutter her title of Squire.

Neo Eternity (02/08/2010 - 04/08/2010)
Neo issued challenge to Vanion whilst Vanion was in the process of a challenge to the Overlord, Ticallion Carter. When Vanion did not appear for his Overlord challenge, he was held in forfeit and stripped of his right to challenge for any title at all for the remainder of that cycle. This then allowed Neo's challenge to proceed normally, but when the time and day of the challenge came, Vanion, again, was nowhere to be found. A Barons council was held, and chose to strip Vanion of his title, forbid him from challenging for any titles for the following cycle as well as the current ban, and elect a champion to face Neo for the Barony of Dockside.

The Council chose Baroness Jaycy Ashelana, former holder of Dockside, to defend. Neo opened up to a formidible 4-0 in 4 rounds lead over the Baroness, who then mounted an awesome comeback. Jaycy scored 3 points in five rounds to bring the score to 4-3, before Neo finally succeeded in defeating the Baroness by defending low against her cut to take the right to hold the Barony of Dockside, 5-3 in 11 rounds.

The Baron held an Eight duelist invitational tournament, with Kaylin guaranteed a spot, in order to find his Squire. After a long fought series of battles, Neo's girlfriend at the time, Kelathe Skelicia, emerged victorious and claimed the title of Squire.

Neo's first challenger was going to be Guill Fortis, but he quickly remove his challenge against the Baron for unknown reasons.

Neo then was challenged by recently returned Warlord Soerl Lute, who wished to test his sword once more and chose Neo as the one he most wished to cross swords with. The two met quickly, with the Baron choosing a Best of Three format.

The Challenger pretty much held complete control through the entirety of the challenge, taking the matches by a score of 5-3 and 5-2 without falling behind in score in either match. This ended Neo's two month reign as Baron of Dockside.

Soerl Lute (04/08/2010 - 09/18/2010)
Upon defeating Neo Eternity in two straight matches, 5-3 and 5-2, New Baron Soerl Lute declared himself Loyal to then Overlord Ticallion Carter. Two weeks later, Soerl declared himself loyal again after Imp defeated Ticallion. Almost two months later, Soerl changed his stance to renegade against Overlord Imp.

Soerl's first challenge came over three months later from one of the Arena's most infamous and decorated duelists, Anubis Karos. The slaver claimed Soerl wasn't fit to hold a ring and sought to remove it from his care. That task proved difficult as Soerl routed Anubis 5-1 in 8 rounds to take the first match in a best of three. After taking a 4-1 lead in the second match Anubis rallied to score four points in four rounds to defeat Soerl 5-4 in 9 rounds. The deciding third match once more saw Soerl jump out to a dominating lead of 4-0.5 after 9 rounds, but Anubis rallied back a second time, bringing the score to 4-3.5. But no comeback would be had this time, as the pivotal fifth point went to Soerl in round 13 to bring the final score to 5-3.5.

Rand alTan (09/18/2010 - 01/04/2011)
Citing his desire to hold what was once the Third Ring yet again, Warlord Rand al'Tan issued challenge to Soerl. It took mere days for the two to meet in the ring, where the Baron opted for a best of three to settle the conflict. The first match went into sudden death, but it was Rand that prevailed, 6-5 in 12 rounds. The second match saw Rand jump out to a 4-1 lead, though Soerl closed the gap to 4-3 before a trading of cuts ended things in Rand's favor, 5-4 in 8 rounds, making him the new Baron of Dockside.
