^ this. The Essanik Cycle is accurate. The Seanchan version of Karaethon is (probably) inaccurate - Edit 1

The Essanik cycle has the wolf king/mat stuff in it, iirc.
The only difference in the Seanchan Karaethon cycle is the kneeling part. The reason that it's wrong, IMHO, is because the Seanchan know that the Randland prophecies are wrong. It just goes with Robert Jordan tradition that anytime someone is CERTAIN of something, they are wrong.
But I don't think it matters whether the prophecy is correct or not. Tuon thinks it's correct. That's what matters.
