Quick question for a 'fic I'm writing:

What's "Legends" in german? Thanks.

Okay, people, listen to a genuine German.

The german word for 'the legend', meaning *both* the story and the 
explanatory thingy beside a map, is "die Legende".  The plural is "die 
Legenden" 

      singular         plural
nom.  die Legende      die Legenden
gen.  der Legende      der Legenden
dat.  der Legende      den Legenden
acc.  die Legende      die Legenden


'story' means "Geschichte", and "Sage" is a different kind of legend, but 
you can't go wrong with "Legende"
