Edit: 

Due to tylerl's specification, I did a little bit of research, and actually, tylerl, "planting the flag" might just be the expression you're after. I saw it in a blog, :


  “Planting the flag” usually means making a claim to something, usually territory or land.  Throughout history men have “planted the flag” claiming ownership in the name of the king, queen, country, church, etc. marking the land as their own


In this Space Review edition, it referred to the time when Neil Armstrong reached the moon, as "planting a flag", and says it's "only the beginning". 

I reckon it's correct usage.

A concise term for staking territorial claims
Now that A Memory of Light has been released are we able to deduce what Moiraine's questions / answers were and Rand's final one was from / to the Aelfinn? 

We know two of Rand's:


Question: How to cleanse Saidin? Answer: Unknown, but Herid said it "stated sound principles in both high philosophy and natural philosophy."
Question: How can I win the Last Battle and survive? Answer: "The north and the east must be as one. The west and the south must be as one. The two must be as one. If you would live, you must die."



Edit: The third question will apparently be revealed in the forthcoming (print) encyclopaedia. (Source)



I don't think we know any of Moiraine's. We get to witness Mat's 3+
