My current working theory/head canon is Ma Gui found or was given schematics from the spaceship (there seem to be written materials on the table in Alliance HQ, so literacy isn't an issue), and he forged the Hallows based on the schematics. In which case, he did make them, and "legends" is just a fancy word for "the impression I got from the inadequately annotated blueprints, why are people so bad at documentation"??? *sprinkles theory with handwavium powder* \o? I mean, the Treaty is written, so they definitely have literacy. Though if there were plans, what prevented others from forging their own Hallows? Are our Hallows broken due to being forged from meteor material (which was not part of the spaceship)? WTF is going on?
(That is, yes, I would read a 100k epic just about worldbuilding. Because WTF.)
