A gift given by Lorien in return for living in harmony with the planet. Given to sub-population known as the Garde.
Fundamental legacies: Telekinesis, Enhancements. Others are unique to Garde.
Legacies are the supernatural powers given as gifts to Loric citizens known as the Garde. These are developed as the Garde matures. Each Garde receives several Legacies, which primarily focus on defense and purity, as the Legacies are meant to be used in the defense of Lorien.
Generally the most powerful Legacy is usually developed last, known as the "Master Legacy" and is combat-focused. Each Garde has more advanced abilities in terms of strength and speed than any human and all receive the same Telekinesis legacy at some point (usually after the first Legacy).
Legacies are what the Garde use to protect their planet, compared to Cêpan who are more academically and intellectually gifted.
The source of the Legacies comes from Lorien itself. The Garde were gifted with their powers after the dark ages where the planet was at a cross roads between desire for rapid development and protecting the natural and sustaining life. This was a time of needless wars and conflicts, including The Secret Wars, a covered-up conflict with the Mogadorians.
The Loric finally began to live in harmony with the planet, and as a reward, Lorien gifted the Garde with their powers, or Legacies. During this time of peace, the Cêpan were also gifted with enhanced intelligence and the Chimæra came out of hiding.
It is hypothesized by Henri that the planet was rewarding the Loric for their foresight in restoring the planet. The Elder Pittacus Lore has every Legacy. The Nine Garde children are meant to follow in the Elder's footsteps and assume their roles. It is said that they will soon become even more powerful than the previous Elders themselves.

Trivia
Possible Legacies
The following are possible legacies based on hints and likeliness as well evidence from the functions of items found in the Garde's Loric Chest's which are said to be tied into their Legacies.
Air Manipulation (Anemokinesis) - It is the ability to manipulate air molecules to create winds of any strength (i.e. breezes, gusts, whirlwinds, tempests, and hurricanes). Known to be part of Six's Elemental Manipulation. Eight has a rock that produces strong gusts of wind.
Duplication - The ability to create a copy (or copies of oneself). Eight has a scroll in his Chest that allows him to make a duplicate of himself. Since it is said that the Inheritance are related to Legacies, it is possible that this can be a legacy separately.
Earth Manipulation (Terrakinesis) - It is the ability to generate, shape and manipulate any Earthen materials, regardless of their state (i.e. sand, dust, dirt, boulder, mineral). As Six is able to control all elements, it is likely she has this ability as well.
Extrasensory Perception - It acts like a sixth sense, allowing the user to see events which have happened, are happening or will happen. Eight was able to sense the arrival of the Garde in India, hinting that he had this legacy.
Intangibility (Phasing)- The ability to pass through physical objects, regardless of its state (solid, liquid, gas). The small purple pebble in Nine's Chest seems to be an imitation of this Legacy.
Plant Manipulation (Chlorokinesis)- Marina is able to control plant life using her Tree Branch, possibly a legacy itself.
Rapid Regeneration - It allows the user to rapidly heal from any wound that was inflicted upon them in a matter of seconds or minutes. Not officialy a Legacy though it is hinted that Six had this legacy after her first encounter with Setrákus Ra.
Retrocognition - The power to discern events of the past. Eight had mentioned of seeing visions of Lorien before the Mogadorian Invasion. It is usually characterized by entering a trance while seeing and hearing a noted past event, whether it be concerning themselves or of an unfamiliar lineage in a past occurrence. This happened to Four while Henri was spreading Lumen throughout his body.
Water manipulation (Hydrokinesis) - It is the ability to control, absorb or generate and shape water particles into almost anything (i.e. tidal wave, whirlpools, blades)
X-ray Vision - The ability to see through objects in order to see objects beyond this obstacle as if it is transparent or non-existent. Nine has a red rock in his Chest that seems to be an imitation of this Legacy.
Sonic Waves - The ability to emit Sonic Waves. When Nine clapped wearing Marinas DarkGloves it emitted a close to sonic boom destroying windows and confusing those in the radius
