Having a Forsaken nudge Byar sort of cheapened it all, IMO.
I just don't see compulsion underlying Byar's actions. From the first book he was fanatical in his hatred for Perrin, unable to see or even contemplate reason. Mix that with his brush with Fain in the Two Rivers, it is classic Faintaint. Whitecloaks were always susceptible to that Mordeth evil, and Byar being one of the more fanatical, especially so. It's a wonder Bornhold was free of that taint and was able to come back to the light, so to speak.
No need for compulsion, Byar's hatred mixed with Faintaint and all is explained. Greandal meant Galad I think.

So, what was the point of survival?

No clue. Slayer could have done it on Moridin's orders. Not like Moridin hasn't failed before *NM*

Maybe she got cocky after reading the Dark Prophecy.

Although I agree with the survival being stupid, I think sanderson used it ...

Because we are told that this was her plot, but we are never shown.

Why having other Forsaken at all? Slayer and Moridin should've been enough. *NM*

That pretty much assuredly refers to Moridin.

Aren't dreams about the future? Moridin's death and rise have already happened. *NM*
