@AcererakTriple6, I am sympathetic to your overall point and I may add more thoughts to it later if I am able to get around to it.
I would like to say though that halflings are much bigger to Dark Sun’s lore than you are giving them credit. It’s not that they are just short cannibals; they are basically the progenitor ancestry of other humanoids. The Big Bad of the setting launched his mass genocide so that halflings could go back to ruling the planet. It was only when the Sorcerer Champions learned that halflings, and not humans, were meant to inherit the earth that they turned on the Big Bad.
