A legend being created

Legends represent important deeds that a character achieved in life. The story of the legend will be written in various events as the legend is being completed. Creating a legend costs 200  Gold if  Count or  Duke, 300 if  King and 400 if  Emperor, and it also has a monthly maintenance cost until it is completed. Legitimizing legends also cost 75  Prestige. A legend needs at least 5 years before it can be completed or abandoned. Each legend can only be created once.

Legends are created from Legend Seeds. The primary way of obtaining Legend Seeds is by employing a Court Chronicler with high Aptitude. They can also be obtained by doing certain deeds or being part of a certain dynasty.

When created, a legend can about either the ruler creating it or to one of its close or extended family members, living or dead, as long as they are at least 16 years old. If the protagonist is another character the ruler will gain +20  Legitimacy if the protagonist does not have a trait considered a virtue, and +50 if it does. Creating a legend also unlocks the Commission Legend Artifact decision.

Once a legend is being created, it can be promoted by other characters. Promoting a legend has half of the maintenance cost of creating it and gives bonuses depending on the legend type. Promoting a legend requires one of the following:

• Know the language of the legend's creator
• Neighbor with the legend's creator
• Lover or Soulmate with the legend's creator
• Friend or Best Friend with the legend's creator

A legend's owner, as well as characters promoting it, unlock the Spread Legend intent for certain activities.

Legends come in three types and three levels of quality, which together determine what benefits they give. When a legend is created it will start at Famed quality. Once it has spread to 100 Baronies it can be upgraded to Illustrious quality and once it has spread to 300 Baronies it can be upgraded to Mythical quality.
