I have mentioned objective correlatives (scroll down) twice before. Here is a third. Dwyr the Hook advises Runei to keep a special watch on Abrams and Runei will consider it. After dismissing Dwyr, Runei ponders his next move in the on-going chess game between him and Abrams and smiles. The chess game is an objective correlative for the inter-imperial conflict.
Flandry's Testament, as I call it, refers to the game of empire or life with pieces going back into the box standing for death.

Kaor, Paul!
I never thought before that putting the pieces back into the box after a chess game was a metaphor for death. I think that idea would be more clearly indicated by REMOVING captured pieces during a game of chess.
And of course Runei would be considering BOTH his next move in that chess game with Abrams and against the Empire on Starkad.
Ad astra! Sean
