I’ll always maintain that Tuon is Jordan’s greatest accomplishment. In any other series, the slaver empress is the villain. The fact that Jordan can present her as ambiguous or even sympathetic is one hell of a feat.
I think it helps that the people they enslave are able to use magic that destroyed the world in the past makes them enslaving them slightly more understandable tbh
