Caistor Lupus: Difference between revisions
imported>Soranin m If we're done throwing a tantrum, not only was your edit badly written, Louth is much further south and east to where Caistor Lupus would be. |
imported>Lacrossedeamon Since Simon the Zealot is mentioned we know this is meant to be the IRL Caistor (regardless of wonky in game location) the game also includes St Helen's Spring so we know on the in game map where Louth is meant to be. Feel free to tweak the wording but dear god leave the gist the same. |

Caistor Lupus was an ancient Roman ruin situated in the forested area of northwestern Lincolnshire, England.
In the 1st century, the site was where Simon the Zealot, one of the desciples of Jesus Christ, was crucified. Following the exodus of Roman troops from Britannia during the early 5th century, the site, like most Roman settlements, fell into ruin and by the 9th century, became the home to a large wolf called the Gemad-Wulf.[1]
