The broken pendant and the pendant starting gift are two entirely different pendants. They don't even look similar. And there is no evidence that the regular pendant is WoW specific. Only Rhea has one on her, and they are also random rewards from the Forest Hunter Covenant pvp.

And I'm fully aware that the Abyss in New Londo kills you without wearing the ring before defeating Four Kings, but we're not talking about that. We're discussing how Artorias and Oolacile were corrupted.
