A short chronological note: The trollkin curse came before the curse of the Telmori.

This is what people think his runes are in their 'objective' opinion.

There are some twisted wolves in Dorastor IMO. They are considered to be not-Telmori by the mainstream tribes.

The quote is a common misunderstanding IMO about Telmori. When they change into wolves on wildday, the Telmori are at their strongest militarily. So it behoves them to do kick ass (ie bite the postman, worry the sheep etc) on this particular day. To do it on any other day means they can get hurt by someone with a pointed stick and so they don't bother.
From the *outsiders* PoV, the Telmori seem to be quiet six days out of seven and then turn into ravening beats on the seventh. Thus the outsiders belief is reinforced by the practices of the Telmori.
