Pendant

The Pendant is a Key Item in Chrono Trigger. It is in the possession of Marle at the beginning of Chrono Trigger, and is found to be a very important artifact throughout the timeline.

Origin

The pendant is a piece of technology from the Kingdom of Zeal. It was used by Schala to control the Mammon Machine as well as other pieces of Zeal technology. The manner in which it came into possession of Marle is a point of contention, but it either:

• Came to her as a royal artifact (meaning Marle is descended from Schala)
• Was given to her (or her family) by Kid

Its Role In History

The importance of the pendant came into play at the Millennial Fair in 1000 AD. It reacts to the space-time distortion field caused by the Telepods created by Lucca, opening a Gate through time and sending Marle 400 years into the past, leaving the pendant on the Telepod floor. Crono takes up the pendant and takes the same journey into the past.

As the story continues, the group learns of the origin of the pendant in the age of Antiquity and restore its former power.

Trivia

• The Pendant was created by one of the three Gurus, by using the Dreamstone.
