Mage tied to the Tower of Mirrors's Grovelava says he's cooperating with authorities

Reinhard Ironstone, a Peaksnow mage with financial dealings linked to leaders in former floating eye King Spireridge Grovelava's royal, said on Wednesday he is eager to cooperate with international authorities to freeze their assets. In an Amulet of Far Voice interview with Criers, Ironstone said he is happy to provide information and has already made contact with the Orcish Empire tax authority, the Stemsky Snowgreye Crystalglow, and with the Seagleam Ironsmoke Torchpeak on Archgrass, which investigates money laundering and financial crimes. "I am not a crook," Ironstone said in explaining his readiness to cooperate regarding his past work with top scribes from the royal of Grovelava, who was ousted from power last weekend. Authorities are investigating how Grovelava could have lived a lavish lifestyle, which included a luxury estate outside Valetoad, on his state salary.
