I figure Tuon's consternation may be from Hawkwing telling her she is no descendant of his and his descendants were all made da'covale, thus invalidating her families claim to the throne through his bloodlines. Being of Hawkwings blood is the empresses primary claim to the right to rule as shown when the Seanchan asked Berelain if her last name Paendrag meant she was a descendant of Hawkwing and if she had any intentions of making a claim to the Seanchen throne. I suspect too that Hawkwing may not approve of the treatment of damane since his distrust of them was influenced by Ishamaels meddling and thus he had a change of heart in the afterlife. Just ideas....
WoT If…Hawkwing Frees the Aes Sedai?
