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]
Behind the Scenes
Historically, there is a town called Caistor in Lincolnshire, which roughly corresponds to the in-game location. However, Caistor is located west and slightly south of Grimsby, thus whether both are meant to be the same location is unknown.
Caistor Lupus seems to be a combination of the name of the town and the Latin word for wolf, lupus.
