Ta'veren Sidious Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 05:47:00 AM
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.


Rand wanted peace, and he nearly pulled it from her.

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 754 Views
He was trying to force ta'vereness. NaClH2O - 31/10/2009 06:56:32 PM 723 Views
I should have known this wouldn't be about The Great Hunt... Fanatic-Templar - 31/10/2009 06:10:49 AM 769 Views
You haven't read the book yet? *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 06:11:41 AM 336 Views
No. I haven't had the time. Fanatic-Templar - 31/10/2009 07:14:08 AM 692 Views
Nah, it's just Sanderson isn't as subtle about the ta'veren. Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:56:15 PM 751 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 346 Views
Egwene in LoC is a very specific example. Bigerich - 01/11/2009 05:57:43 PM 778 Views
I really think this was something different beetnemesis - 01/11/2009 04:58:37 PM 650 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 753 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 703 Views
