As far as I can remember, he was killed by Sheng Seleris who then made Emperor Stew for everybody.

This results in the release of Heler, who can defeat Daga. (I only just realised that Heler/Daga is a kinstrife - between two brothers)

Pretty much. Of course, not everyone hates them, just most "right-thinking people" in Sartar.

Not just the Amazonians, my wife is Bashkiri (a Russian tribe of steppe nomad ancestry) and firmly believes that any illnesses or misfortunes that affect her or any of her family are caused by Magicians putting curses on her (usually from rivals back in Moscow). She knows of Shamans back home who can take the curses off but won't even talk about them because shamans can also put curses on people, especially those who talk about the shamans.

In Ireland they used turf for a long time, but also used stones for much of the rural buildings. A better example is in Northern England where they do things pretty much as you suggest. Dry Stone Walls are commonplace. In Scotland, especially in the north, dry stone was used for a lot of building.
This may well be a model for rural Sartarites but urban Sartarites use more sophisticated stonework. After all, Sartar and his sons used stoneworking techniques to create cities. That is not to say that all urban buildings are of good stonework or that all rural ones are dry-stone built.

Well, there is a valley north of Valind's Glacier where the inhabitants have no disease or death and where they live in happiness and harmony (or so I have heard). Of course, they are all broos but have not been marred by Chaos.
