5th Day of Mid-Autumn, Year 3087 UAC (Unified Altheon Calendar)
For more than a week, the Mt. Helene dungeon incident dominated public discourse in Arvion. Questions were raised. Accusations were made. Silence was interpreted as guilt. Trust in public institutions wavered.
Two days ago, those questions were finally answered.
After a closed-door hearing that lasted nearly five hours, followed by an additional full day of deliberation, the Arvion Dungeon Emergency Unit Hearing Committee delivered a verdict that sent shockwaves through the city.
Harrison Stille has been officially removed from his position as Chief of Arvion DEU, stripped of all authority, and placed under arrest pending public trial on multiple charges, including corruption, abuse of authority, illegal Heartstone diversion, and obstruction of justice.
This article serves as a complete account of the Mt. Helene Dungeon Incident, the hearing that followed, and the conclusions reached by the Hearing Committee, based on verified evidence presented during the proceedings.
What follows is not speculation, rumor, nor conjecture. It is fact.
The Mt. Helene Incident
Approximately ten days ago, a previously undocumented dungeon gate was discovered at Mt. Helene, triggering an emergency response from the Arvion Dungeon Emergency Unit (DEU). At the time, several civilians in the surrounding area were reported missing.
Public concern escalated when it was revealed that a private dungeon team, led by Arthur Montrose of Montrose Corporation, had entered the dungeon site during nighttime hours.
Early reports, including a previous article authored by this reporter, questioned the intent behind the operation and whether the focus had shifted from search-and-rescue efforts to resource extraction.
As established during the hearing, Montrose and his team entered the dungeon after formal requests to proceed were denied due to safety concerns. What was not publicly known at the time was the condition discovered inside the dungeon.
Also the fact that the dungeon was not merely active, but mutated.
According to official reports submitted to the committee, Montrose’s team uncovered a cavern containing extensive human remains. Due to the state of decomposition and environmental conditions within the dungeon, immediate identification was not possible. Medical and forensic teams were deployed shortly after, working under strict containment protocols.
Medical and forensic personnel testified that the scale and condition of the remains required specialized handling and slow, methodical processing to preserve potential evidence.
The decision to withhold details from the public was made jointly by medical authorities and investigators, citing ethical concerns and the need to verify findings before release.
Why Information Was Withheld
According to testimony and corroborated visual evidence, the remains were heavily damaged, fragmented, and in many cases unrecognizable. Identification efforts required forensic teams, medical specialists, and prolonged analysis under controlled conditions.
During the hearing, it was clarified that no public statements were issued regarding the remains because the identification process was ongoing. Premature disclosure would have risked misinformation, further trauma to affected families, and potential contamination of evidence.
This information had not been disclosed to the media at the time due to ongoing investigation protocols.
As of this writing, forensic teams are still working to determine the identities of the deceased. Officials confirm that next-of-kin notifications will take priority once verification is complete.
The Hearing: A Public Confrontation
The hearing itself was initiated at the direct request of Arthur Montrose, who publicly accused Arvion DEU, under Stille’s leadership, of corruption and demanded transparency.
Held in the Arvion DEU Hearing Room and broadcast live, the proceedings lasted nearly five hours.
What distinguished this hearing from any previous inquiry was the sheer volume of documentation presented. Financial records, transaction logs, shell company registrations, audio recordings, and inter-department communications were submitted into evidence.
The committee confirmed that Harrison Stille had systematically siphoned Heartstones allocated to the city through intermediary shell companies, diverting both resources and funds for personal gain.
The hearing committee consisted of independent legal experts, civic representatives, and observers from the Concordia central administration.
Heartstone Allocation and Abuse of Authority
Under Concordia law, Heartstone distribution follows strict guidelines:
60% to the primary dungeon-clearing entity, 30% shared among participating exploration companies, 10% allocated to the city.
In cases where a dungeon is cleared by a single entity, the city’s share increases to 40%.
Evidence presented showed that Chief Stille repeatedly obstructed Montrose Corporation’s dungeon operations, allegedly under safety or procedural claims, while simultaneously manipulating outcomes to increase the city’s share, shares that were later proven to be partially misappropriated.
More than twenty shell companies linked to Stille were identified, some registered overseas, others within Concordia itself.
The Network: Allies and Silent Beneficiaries
Perhaps the most damning revelation was not Stille acting alone, but Stille operating within a broader network.
Recorded communications and corroborated documents revealed coordinated dealings involving third parties, including individuals connected to prominent business and noble families. While several investigations remain ongoing, the committee confirmed that certain associates have since severed all ties with Stille.
No formal charges have been announced against the businessman and the noble familes at the time of publication, pending further investigation by relevant jurisdictions.
Legal representatives for those parties stated that cooperation with authorities is underway.
Verdict and Immediate Aftermath
Following one full day of deliberation, the Hearing Committee reached a unanimous verdict.
Harrison Stille was found to have:
Abused his authority as Chief of Arvion DEU, engaged in systematic corruption, obstructed lawful dungeon operations, illegally diverted heartstones and public funds 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
He was removed from office effective immediately.
Arvion DEU is currently operating under interim leadership while a full restructuring is underway.
Reflection and Accountability
As the reporter who first questioned Arthur Montrose’s role in this incident, it is my responsibility to state clearly: the initial article did not reflect the full truth.
Information was withheld, not to deceive, but because investigations were ongoing, victims were being identified, and premature disclosure would have caused harm.
This case is a stark reminder that silence is not always guilt, and that corruption can exist where authority is assumed to be absolute.
What Comes Next
The Mt. Helene remains investigation continues.
Families of the missing have been privately briefed as identification progresses.
Harrison Stille awaits public trial.
Authorities from Concordia’s central administration have announced temporary oversight of the Arvion DEU while restructuring efforts are underway. Independent monitors will be assigned to all future dungeon-related operations within the region.
And Arvion, for the first time in years, has witnessed what true accountability looks like, live, documented, and undeniable.
Closing
The Mt. Helene case has exposed systemic vulnerabilities in dungeon governance, but it has also demonstrated the power of transparency, civic mechanisms, and institutional accountability when properly invoked.
The outcome of this hearing marks not an end, but a recalibration of trust.
