Why would anyone want to pity Telmori? I don't see people pitying Ogres who are just as chaotic. I do not believe that Telmori engage in mass angst rituals about the curse. To them, it's a natural part of life like growing old and dying is for most humans.

When did the Telmori go over to the Lunars? They were loyal to the Royal House of Sartar and after the Lunar occupation destroyed the Maboder who were Lunar supporters. This resulted in their subjugation by Jomes Wolf, a state of affairs they are far from happy with IMO.
The Dorastan Telmori certainly aren't pro-Lunar and have been known to help out in Chaos raids out of Dorastor. Of course the chaos of Dorastor probably can control them somewhat through their curse.

There is a lunar cure for the Telmori and it was devised by HonEel the Artess. It transforms your average Telmori into a wolf and was used to cleanse Sylila of the Telmori.
