<div>Second, Valorius is linked up with the sun at the end, and
it is by the sun that he is enabled to kill the moon-queen,
Lurn. This is associated with their previous conversation
about sun and moon combatting. Sun and moon correspond to man
and woman or, more specifically, to king and queen. So it
seems to me that Valorius is now a king, which could happen
only in checkers (though, I'd add, he's also clearly under Our
Lord the Sun, which is an appropriate view for a Christian
king). </div>

That's the Knights Templar (The Hospitalers), who protected
pilgrims (lost travelers).<br>
