Some confusion between Tim & Peter?

Tim:

>> When some, or all of [the Telmori in Sartar] went over to the Lunar
>> side it was probably because the Lunars were prepared to accept them
>> for what they were, rather than hate and fear them for it, and may
>> also have used illumination to free the telmori of their own hatred
>> of the curse.

Peter:
> 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.

Two "possible" goings-over spring to mind:

The Telmori supported the Lunar puppet Temertain despite the objections of Sartarite rebels -- though this was more likely down to their devoted (I might say dogged) loyalty to the House of Sartar, rather than any pro-Lunar sentiment.
The episode documented in "Argrath's Saga" (whereizit?) when evil Chaos filth spews forth against Good King Argrath from Snakepipe Hollow and a simultaneous Telmori uprising. If we note that the Telmori are devoted to supporting the TRUE heirs of Sartar, this maybe tells us something about the validity of Argrath's claimed descent...
