* {{Foreshadowing}}: While talking with Ditchwater Sal, the eldest Lilim states that, "The seed that will grow into the tree that will be felled to shape the cradle of the babe that will become the hero who is destined to kill me has not yet been planted". Shortly after they part ways, the narration pauses to focus on a squirrel that has just found an acorn, and runs off to bury it, and ultimately forget where they left it....

* TheMagicGoesAway: Implied with a bit of the eldest Lilim's introspection on the extremely long time she's been in the world and how weak her powers have become. Even when she is temporarily restored to a younger, more powerful form, her abilities absolutely pale in comparison to the epic feats she once pulled off with barely a thought. It's left unclear whether this is due to her own deterioration or if the magic of the world in general is fading.
