Note
A regular plural, but not every meaning of legend takes it. When legend means such stories taken together, unverified tradition as a whole, English keeps the singular with no article: a castle lives on in legend, not in legends. The plural counts separate tales: saints' lives, stories of uncertain historicity, kernels of truth embellished beyond belief, or the fabricated backstories prepared for spies.
