A legendary mead hall has been built. Called Heorot, it is a place of feasting and revelry. It's also got a really REALLY bad neighbor. The monster Grendel does not enjoy living near Heorot and has a tendency to file noise complaints in the form of mass slaughter. And this terror goes unchallenged for 12 years. Until finally, a hero overhears the tale. A hero named Beowulf.
