Moiraine realized this a long time ago, which is why she is so single-minded. She's almost like a Verin hypnosis-victim. The Dragon must fight the Last Battle, and win. No matter what.
Verin obviously has used her Compulsion before, she wasn't practicing in the Aiel tents.
Yes, I remember suspecting this at one time or another. Verin is mentioned a few times in NS and I'm sure I was wondering if perhaps she had a hand in creating new Searchers after Tamra's were killed.
Who is the bravest WOT character -- a soldier willing to sacrifice the most for their own cause?

I'd say there are only two serious candidates, and one clear winner

Occasionally. At least I didn't dedicate my life to achieving mediocrity, Hidious.

Can totally get behind Tuon for that scene. Bornhold's a boring fanatic, though. *NM*

The thing is, most of the people I try to think of didn't really have a 'cause' ...

That's just it. That's really the Dragon Reborn myth in a nutshell, really.

I changed my mind - Tigraine Mantear is the bravest character I can think of.

Tamra. Her speech after Gitara Moroso's death in NS was heartbreaking.
