Legacy
Introduction
Legacy is a Background that represents the surviving works and accomplishments of a wraith. This can be a work of art, a building they designed, a company they founded, or even immaterial legacies like a scientific theory they developed or even a word they came up with that people still use. When a wraith visits the place of their Legacy (or a place of significance to the Legacy in the case of immaterial Legacies), they can heal their Corpus through the deep feeling of affirmation.
Not to be confused with the Memoriam Background, which represents the actual memories that the living hold of the wraith themselves. Whether or not anyone remembers the Wraith as a person or the Wraith's name is not important to the Legacy background - just that something the wraith did of significance lives on still.
