And maybe that's part of the idea? He's Orlanth, not Telmori,
therefore Gbaji's curse doesn't apply to him. Maybe Telmor doesn't
care for that chaos taint, and he's been working on clearing some of
it out. And getting someone growing up foreign, might be one way
to eventually get to a breedable adult whose children might wind up
being cleansed Telmori? Might Telmor sacrifice individuals for the
good of the pack? Poor him? Although, in this case, it might be
better to give him to Humakt instead of Orlanth? :)
