Quick question for a 'fic I'm writing:

What's "Legends" in german? Thanks.

I assume you mean a fictitious tale and not that part of the map that tells
what symbols mean what, right? Right. It's "Sage/Sagen (f)" for
"Legend/Legends".

Oh, don't believe Unca Fester. "Legende/Legenden" means the legend of a
map, and I don't think you want that. You have to be careful when
translating word-for- word; you might not be translating what you think
you're translating.

Hope this answers it! ^_^
