A legend is a story or a group of stories about a person or being or creatures, that experiences or becomes or does, something out of the ordinary. The stories are always meant to inspire and teach, whether in the negative or positive. The story is passed down generation to generation as if it were true or based on truth, though there may be little chance of any truly verifiable facts. Usually these stories are meant to inspire those who hear it.

In short, a legend is a story thought by the tellers to have been true at one time, but usually has been changed many times, new ideas added to it, what may have been facts originally, get a little distorted. Still, supposedly based on truth.
