Long ago, in the frost-covered reaches of the ancient North, there lived a warrior named Beowulf—renowned not only for his strength in battle, but for his unwavering devotion to the protection and service of others. After triumphing over monsters and leading his people with honor and wisdom, Beowulf entrusted his legacy to a fellowship of loyal companions. These warriors, bound by shared purpose and deep respect for their leader’s ideals, became the first to carry the spirit of Beowulf beyond their homeland. As kingdoms rose and fell, this loyal fellowship transformed into a secret order known as the Guardians of the Crest—or the Beowulf Vanguards. They became more than protectors; they were keepers of virtue, training new generations to embody bravery, unity, and selfless leadership in a world constantly changing.
Over centuries, the Vanguards roamed the world, crossing stormy seas, dense forests, and towering mountains in search of a land where the values of their founder could take root and thrive. Their journey finally brought them to the rugged hills and open plains of Clearmont, Wyoming—a land marked by quiet resilience and bold spirit. Here, the last descendants of the order planted the star-marked crest into the soil, declaring the founding of House Beowulf. In this house, the fire of ancient ideals burns bright, lighting the path for students who choose to serve, lead, and protect. The Beowulf Vanguards live on through these students, who stand as modern-day heroes—carrying the torch of trust, courage, and responsibility, and inspiring others to do the same.
