I'm up to the first hundred pages or so of HOC, trying to reconcile some info that SE gave us to get a feel for their height:

quote:
From GotM, when Tattersail meets Bellurdan after the siege of Pale:
...though Bellurdan knelt, his head came near to her [Tattersail's] own height...


From reports Tattersail is between 5' - 5 1/2' tall, which would mean that Bellurdan's head, torso and thighs would be about 5' tall. Using the Divine Proportion that would make his height about 7'.

quote:
From DHG, when Kalam meets Shaik:
...he [Shaik's Thelomen bodyguard] was over seven feet tall, yet muscled enough to seem wide...


Over 7 feet. Consistent with GotM.

Yet from the descriptions in the first part of HOC it seems as though the Teblor are massive - their horses are twice the height and mass of the lowlander breeds. Assuming proportions are relative it would suggest that the Teblor/Thelomen are closer to 10-12 feet tall?
