By the time I got to this strip, I knew exactly how this current storyline would need to play out, so Duke Joralan being the one who made Albert's pendant was foreshadowing for it breaking here. I also knew, when I wrote Strip #574, how the Oracle of Lycanth's pool worked, and that it required another person (which, in Cecelia's case, would have been her father), but I chose not to have her mention that, since it would have undermined the point she was trying to make.
