A bubble rises to the surface of the pond because it cannot go anywhere else. The secret of the legendary is the paradox: they are the most unremarkable person you will ever know, yet the whole world will keep wondering about them until the end of time. This makes them blameless. Like a fleeting glance of a beautiful lover, a legendary leaves no evidence of their deeds. And yet, they single-handedly create empires, build cities, displace whole peoples and make time turn.

== False legendaries ==
Because of the vague nature of legendaries' abilities, some people throughout history have either claimed to be legendaries or were falsely thought to be legendaries. Such claims are usually disproven by later historical analysis.
One of the more known cases of such misidentification is [[Kren Oordar]], whose defeat of Tonaran and acute knowledge of the future were thought to be signs of insight. However, this was later discovered to be the result of a number of coincidences and the actual knowledge of the future that Kren possessed due to the [[Oordar causal loop]].
