This contradiction doesn't really jive with the halflings being originally psionic and creating the other races.Some of the novels also play up the notion that before the Cleansing Wars, Athas much more like FR or Greyhawk. The Revised boxed set sort of moves away from this notion and implies that Athas was always a lot more alien and different than the other TSR settings.Obviously, there were several different visions of how Athas should be at TSR and different authors put a different spin on things.</blockquote>
