The Telvanni didn't join the Ebonheart Pact. Whether we will see their clothing in game, I have no idea. But I'm hoping for a cephalopod helmet myself.
According to the lore within the game world the Telvanni rarely care about what goes on in the world at large. As long as it doesn't effect their research in magicka they will never join the Ebonheart Pact. Maybe its a open story hook for ZOS for a future expansion or update.
I definitely would see Dres going medieval at the mere hint of a halt on slavery. Maybe there's some PvE content about it.
As for Telvanni, the only joinable factions right now are Fighters and Mages guilds, with Thieves and Dark Brotherhood (grumble, mumble) planned for post-launch release.
There is however a Telvanni player guild: http://www.teso-rp.com/forum/m/9324623/viewthread/6610675-ep-telvanni-acquisition-heavy-roleplay-high-literacy
