Terald's Expedition
In addition to providing the amazing 'finds' for the auction, Terald sold shares for his next great expedition. Players paid 100 plat per ticket to fund his next endeavor. Terald disappeared after the festival, and wasn't seen for several years.
Many people decided that Terald had scammed them, and the Terald shares were thought to be nothing more then the remaining evidence of a huckster's fraud.
Remarkably, several years later Terald resurfaced with a request for those who held the shares what became known as Terald's Expedition. (2007)
Imperial Palm Inn, Ratha, Third Tier

A few years later, Terald was involved in the opening of the zombie togball area in Boar Clan. Where he led a group to try to recover a rare artifact/item. The local shaman asked them to stop, but Terald insisted and the adventurers ended up desecrating graves/sacred ground where the zombie togballers are now located.
Terald managed to disappear after this and wasn't seen until he donated (for a fee) artifacts to be placed in Crossing's Trader plaza for a fee paid to him by the Trader guild.
Several years later, Terald met with the Owirvald Auction Company arranged to sell them some of his rare finds, with the idea of starting a nice slush fund for his next dig.
