The Legacy of Arrius Lurco is a full four-part campaign for Cthulhu Invictus, set in Rome, Achaea (Greece) and Cyrenaica (Crete).
Several years ago a wealthy patrician, one of the owners of the Reds chariot racing faction, vanished in Crete. He was found weeks later wandering aimlessly with no memory of where he'd been or what had happened to him. Arrius Lurco returned home and tried to resume his life but then the nightmares and erratic behavior began. What starts as an attempt to recover his lost memories soon becomes an epic struggle pitting investigators against sinister cults, inhuman minions and the awesome powers of a Great Old One.

THE LEGACY OF ARRIUS LURCO
A Campaign for Cthulhu Invictus
"I am not a hero; I am but a man, a mortal man without much time left upon this earth. But I will attempt to make a difference. I will stand and fight and likely fail. But I will not go quietly or meekly. Let this, above all else, be my legacy."
-- Quintus Arrius Lurco
A wealthy partician, who owns a controlling interest in the Reds Chariot Racing faction, vanished in Crete. Weeks later, he was found wandering, without a memory of where he had been or what had happened to him. Arrius Lurco went home and tried to resume his normal life, but soon the nightmares and erratic behaviour began. Investigators are thus drawn into an epic struggle against sinister cults, horrific creatures and the awesome powers of a Great Old One.
