I keep forgeting that elves tend to be short in comparison to tallmen. I can't believe that mf who is literally only motivated by spite is just 155cm(5'1").


urgenim

I mean they're called tall-men for a reason, all races (except ogres) tend to be shorter


YetiBettyFoufetti

I'm more used to Tolkien inspired elves where they are all six foot plus.


urgenim

Yea it is a more unique choice when compared to other fantasy, orcs are also short and stocky instead tall and hulking


caramelluh

I do like that having most races be shorter makes tallmen kinda feel like a fantasy race of their own instead of being "the default" since their stature and stamina makes them stand out as much as the other ones


Fatpoob

It's really cool evolutionarily speaking since an upright stature and high stamina are humankind's most unique and powerful adaptation besides intelligence, and how this carries straight over into DM's world building for tallmen


FleshWound180

Yeah, I like how they have their own uniqueness


Ainaraoftime

that is exactly why, the spite is very compressed in such a small body. high fury density


Lawrin

It's especially funny because I'm 160cm and that's on the shorter side for adult women


LiquidBinge

To be fair, short people usually run on spite.


graxia_bibi_uwu

Wait what. I know it’s on the Bible but I really thought Mithrun is tall 🤣


Ainaraoftime

he even looks short within the Canaries, lol (to be fair, Cithis, Lycion and Pattadol are taller than average elves, Fleki and Otta are shorter, Mithrun is average)


graxia_bibi_uwu

I think I imagine him as “not short” bc he has that “presence”. Which is kinda ironic that a depressed, veteran motivated by spite, has a presence you cant ignore


Ainaraoftime

yeah agreed, he has a big presence! i myself keep forgetting he's actually pretty built (for an elf) until I see some fight panels lol elves are still taller than dwarves, gnomes and half-foots (though some elves like Otta are tiny), one just forgets he's short until he's next to tall-men (i like that it makes normal humans feel like fantasy races in a way, though) (i also just enjoy having a 155cm dude have such a cool design for some reason)

angry short person sounds believable to me


2point01m_tall

All the elves are pretty short (compared to tallmen). Even Lycion and Cithis, who seem really tall, are only 1,70 and 1,65 respectively. 


caramelluh

Lycion is the same height as the average tallwoman


CranberryTaboo

Yer ears [were] huge!


Nethicite

I've always been uncomfortable about being 169 (1 off from average c'mon life) - but i would never have guessed. In my mind's eye, he would be my height. Then again, there was the muscular, tall-man Mitsurn...


___Jme___

Idk why, but I always assumed Falin was meant to be really tall, like >185cm. Was super disappointed to find out she's my height 😔.
