Legendary Cards

The Legendary Cards are a set of cards that are prized by the Transcendant Three and other duelists from around the world. They are said to be the ultimate duel monsters but they have another purpose, they seal away a great evil from long ago. The Main Character Daemon will never acquire a Lengendary Card because he does not see the point in them.

Names
So far there is no connection between all the Legendary cards' names but they mainly have a name followed by the title of their function in life.

History
The Legendary Cards seem to have existed for a very long time, they were created by a group of chosen priests when an ancient evil terrorised the planet. These cards were used to seal that evil entity's power for all time. Over the years, the ancient evil slowly regained its strength and managed to transform two of the cards (Phantasma and Rajaak). By using these two monsters the dark being managed to regain a link to the physical world, it began manifesting itself and finding disciples for itself (creating the Transcendant Three). The creature eventually found suitable hosts for its power and began to create its own Legendary Cards that would later be used for its rebirth. At one point, the creature was challenged, the cards it created were lost and its original followers died.

Years later the being returned to our world and created the new Transcendant Three giving them a mission, recover the Legendary Cards at all costs, he gave his followers dark powers that allowed them to create the Guardians of the Night.

The two first cards appear during the World Duel Championship in Greendale in the hands of Oliver Blitz, who controls the Blue Blitz Magician and in the possession of Chaos, the lord of the Transcendant Three who has Phantasma, Dragon Emperor of the Inferno.

The other cards have yet to appear but we can expect that they will appear in Battleopia.

Trivia
Daemon Martes, Frost Summers, Marshall Kane and other main characters never use Legendary cards whereas main antagonists always use one.

All Legendary Cards have effects that had to be toned down for the TCG versions.
