Abu Jafar was indeed a Bully, with Callous and Sadism. He didn't actually have Bloodlust as some uncontrollable urge, but instead would regularly kill someone for no other reason than to dedicate their death to his patron, the Lord of Murder. That wasn't Compulsive, however, but when he did this, Abu Jafar would gain power. It contributed to his negative Reputation among civilised people, however.

This is not an instrument for the beginner. The knowledge of which songs do what is lost as well. Perhaps the bin Rook volume could be of help?
Al-Warrakh and/or Abu Jafar would routinely use Knowledge spells to determine if items found by raiding parties or tomb-robbing expeditions were magical and what their enchantments consisted of.

Of course, if something was not usable without skills they didn't have, they might have put it in storage. At least, if they were unable to trade the item to someone else for things they did want or could use.

There are many tribal atamans in the desert and the surrounding lands who would defy the Bey's laws to trade with the bandits, at least if the bandits had fine horseflesh, beatiful weapons or valuable magical treasures. For that matter, not all Emirs under the Bey were entirely innocent of trading with pirates and bandits.

Through middlemen in the tribes who live closer to the Dragonsword Mountains, the bandits also traded with the Nezramites, reclusive wizards descended from the Mulhorandi archmage Nezram, and the stone giants of the giant realm of Fuirgar.
