p. 457:
"Tuon found herself longing, suddenly, to obey him. To please him. A treaty. A treaty would be excellent, it would give her a chance to stabilize her hold..."

Here is Chap 46 of Shadow Rising, Moghedien compelling Nynaeve and Elayne
"Nynaeve nodded vigorously, smiling even more rapturously than before. Elayne realized that she was, too. She was sure she could answer the questions first. Anything to please this woman."

On the other hand here is Rand asking Egwene for the location of rebel Aes Sedai
"Egwene opened her mouth -- and realized that she was about to tell him all she knew about Salidar. Barely in time she clamped her teeth shut..."

With the taveren effect there is no desire to please and no made up reasons, as there was with Tuon and Rand.

I thought he failed because of the ta'veren only working negatively for him for a while. Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:55:01 PM 746 Views
He was trying to force ta'vereness. NaClH2O - 31/10/2009 06:56:32 PM 711 Views
I should have known this wouldn't be about The Great Hunt... Fanatic-Templar - 31/10/2009 06:10:49 AM 761 Views
You haven't read the book yet? *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 06:11:41 AM 333 Views
No. I haven't had the time. Fanatic-Templar - 31/10/2009 07:14:08 AM 683 Views
Nah, it's just Sanderson isn't as subtle about the ta'veren. Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:56:15 PM 742 Views
It's the first time we've had someone else's PoV when ta'veren was trying to work. *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 09:39:38 PM 343 Views
Egwene in LoC is a very specific example. Bigerich - 01/11/2009 05:57:43 PM 768 Views
I really think this was something different beetnemesis - 01/11/2009 04:58:37 PM 642 Views
I highly doubt it was ta'veren effect... It was an effect of the Dark One I say Matrimony Cauthon - 01/11/2009 06:16:38 PM 745 Views

Agreed on the True Power's effect, but if you think about it, the lack of a treaty works out for him Legolas - 05/11/2009 03:20:49 PM 694 Views
