Problem with LoreFollow

In the two lore sections http://www.everquest.com/places for Rivervale and Qeynos it states that Gubbin went on a great quest

Is it a typo or did Gubbin go on a quest with Antonius Bayle the III and the IV?

Here are the two quotes:

Rivervale Lore

He has traveled with Antonius Bayle III and it is said that while on one of those expeditions that he acquired a gigantic treasure hoard from the fairiefolke. This treasure enabled him to become mayor. Gubbin discovered his fortune when he was traveling in Lesser Faydark's fairie realms.

Qeynos Lore

Later, Antonius IV went on an epic quest with the Qeynos Claymore at his side. This was before he became ruler and after he was a full fledged paladin. His father knew of the quest and its importance and allowed Antonius to wield the Qeynos Claymore for the purpose.

The Qeynos Claymore is what the city is named after and dates back to a time when the humans were living in small communities. Qeynos is an old sort of slang Combine word roughly translating to "manifest destiny for humanity". The sword is magical and sentient.

The warrior Milea Clothspinner, who often uses a different last name when adventuring, accompanied Antonius IV on this quest. The ranger Frenway Marthank and the bard Vhalen Nostrolo also began the quest with Antonius, but Vhalen left before its completion. Along the way, the high elf Lady Shae of Felwithe joined them. There was also a halfling that assisted Antonius in this quest as well and there are rumors that say that this halfling was none other than Mayor Gubbin of Rivervale.

Mayor Gubbin

The leader of the community and a former rogue adventurer, Gubbin is the richest halfing that ever lived. He has traveled with Antonius Bayle III, and it is said that while on one of those expeditions, he acquired a gigantic treasure hoard from the fairiefolke. This treasure enabled him to become mayor.

When Gubbin discovered his fortune, he was traveling in Lesser Faydark's fairie realms. Whether it was a bottomless pot of gold or a chicken that lays golden eggs has yet to be told, but he did find something that has made him teh wealthiest man in Rivervale and a wanted man by some fairiefolke who were the original owners of the treasure. He used his wealth to boost his popularity among his fellows in Rivervale, spending much of his new resourcesto bolter Rivervale's economy and increase its trade with other empires. He rode this popularity all the way to the mayorship.

So which one is it?

Both tales are correct. He made his fortune traveling with Antonius Bayle III, which led to his becoming mayor. But Highhold pass, the only way out of Rivervale to Qeynos, was a stronghold for the Combine. In his efforts to increase trade with Qeynos and even as far North as Everfrost, he did accompany Antonius Bayle IV on his quest with the Qeynos Claymore.
As was typical within the Halfling Rogue community, staying in one place and lust for fortune led him to surreptitiously join the second adventure group. I do not know anything in the lore that states whether he actually made any fortune on the second adventure.

In reading your post again, it was the first expedition that made him his fortune, but he did also join the second Antonius in his expedition.
