Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was over the past year, agonizing over the death of his father, Neal - with the help of Belle and enchanted candelabra Lumiere - attempts to find a magical solution to bring back Rumplestiltskin from the dead.[2]

- The page with the key,[7] is a facsimile of page 102 of Book VIII of De Civitate Dei[8] (The City of God), a book of Christian philosophy written in Latin by early Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo in the early fifth century.
- The page contains part 1, and the start of part 2, from Book VIII. An English translation can be found on Project Gutenberg:
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/45304/45304-h/45304-h.htm#Page_305
- The page contains part 1, and the start of part 2, from Book VIII. An English translation can be found on Project Gutenberg:

- The symbols on the Vault of the Dark One[11] includes the tomoe, the triquetra, the triangle, the Eye of Providence, the pentagram and the sun. Circling all the other symbols is the Ouroboros, which represents cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself—fitting for the vault of the Dark One.
- In "The Broken Kingdom", Guinevere touches three of the symbols in order to open the vault.
- The book[12] that Belle uses to identify the symbol on Neal's hand is written in Latin.
