I had thought that Anu  was the reason for the sun like Sithis/Padomay was the reason for darkness. Since both aedra and daedra came from them wouldn't it be hard to say that the created control the creator. Maybe they don't necessarily control these things since not all destruction could come from Mehrunes and not all disease comes from Peyrite. They just have an influence on it as it there sphere though i dont see azura stopping Masser and Secunda let alon the sun anytime soon. Peyrite throwing in some diseases...that's a different story. The "curse" of the Dunmer's appearance is barely a curse though. She made them different but still beautiful, or even more beautiful, enough that lots of Imperials find Dark Elves attractive, including Emperors who intermarried with them. Mortals just interpret it as a curse because they don't like change, and also Azura is an easy scapegoat for people who like the Tribunal because that way the focus is shifted away from what the Tribunal did and has done with their power. For all we know Azura did them a favor by changing their appearance because it brought their people together, and it definitely forced the Tribunal to acknowledge they had done something because if the rest of their race hadn't experienced the change the Tribunal may have hidden what they had done completely.

I agree that the Daedra all have alien morality, but honestly by human standards Azura hasn't done anything that could be considered evil that we know of, even though she's not omniscient. And the "Dwemer curse" thing seems more like a retroactive explanation once the Dwemer disappeared, since the disappearance of the Dwemer makes more sense in terms of being the result of their own hubris from using Kagrenac's Tools, and their hubris is definitely not in doubt when you consider the level of entitlement they felt to do what they did to the Falmer.
