Did anyone think that Tuon's reaction to Rand in their meeting seems a lot like people's reaction to compulsion? In particular, the reaction to taverenness is different: Verin remembers words of her fealty spilling out of her mouth before she knew what they were. People can sometimes channel the One Power unwittingly and use compulsion unwittingly (e.g. untrained young Verin). I think Rand might be tapping the True Power unwittingly and compelling Tuon. Real compulsion can't really be resisted, but maybe not an unknowing small nudge. That increasing dark shadow hanging around Rand might be a sign of continued use of TP.
PS Sorry the references are a bit murky. My friend stole my copy of GS immediately after I was done.

I thought he failed because of the ta'veren only working negatively for him for a while.

Nah, it's just Sanderson isn't as subtle about the ta'veren.

It's the first time we've had someone else's PoV when ta'veren was trying to work. *NM*

I highly doubt it was ta'veren effect... It was an effect of the Dark One I say

Agreed on the True Power's effect, but if you think about it, the lack of a treaty works out for him
