I'm sorry then - I think she'll be absent from the first 350-odd pages. - Edit 1

Every once in awhile it dawns on me again "Omg, I get Moiraine in X days!"
So you'll have to wait longer still.
Heaven help us, the Authors could be real jerks about it and have Moiraine not express a single word until the end of the book. Then it could be something lame like "I know what we have to do!" <Quote that I usually don't like much, no offense>
If the Authors do it "Lost"-style, it'll be far worse: Moiraine will almost say something, or possibly speak lines, but it won't mean anything. Then in the book's last sentences, she'll say "Hello, Rand" or "you have to kill your Ogier" or "you found a portal stone?" <horn blare> <echoey sound-effect>
