Sorry, I don't at all buy any of the "SH is good" lines. Sharrans are evil. End of story.
I know that Sharrans are evil. You know that Sharrans are evil. There is a high chance Shadowheart does not. She has memory loss (fits Sharran MO) and every time she talks about Shar you get the Shar-is-not-evil propaganda. She doesn't even try to modify it to make it more believable for someone with a passing knowledge of Shar.
This, coupled with her tendency to approve being a secretive, but helpful person led to many people, including myself, to believe she is brainwashed.
And quite honestly, why wouldn't an evil cult brainwash people to send them on suicide missions? Makes more sense then to send actually useful and loyal people there.
