5'2" here, so I guess I'm....a dwarf?
I always thought that elves were more slight than humans, but not much shorter. So...maybe avg height of 5'4" compared to human avg of 5'6" for women?
Then you have lady Adaar at 6'0".

I'm terrible at using this measuring method anyway, since I'm from Germany. But isn't 5'3'' very short, compared to Solas? I always thought she must be at least 5'5'' - so a bit smaller than a human, but not terribly so.
Europeans are the giants of the human race.
I am 5'1". I should just go join my dwarven brethren at this point.
I'll shall join you, for I am barely 5'0''. Tiny Lavellans unite. ![]()

All my friends in middle school were Dutch and I was the lone half-spanish girl. Needless to say even the girls were at least a head taller than me.

6'1. ![]()
Let us join them together then, for I am as tall as you! (I'm one of the oldest but the smallest person in my entire school year. A seventh grader said something about me being a "little pissy child" once. Excuse you, boy without a single hair on his balls, I have connections and am at least 4-5 years older than you.)I am 5'1".

You sound like most of my short friends.
(Though you're taller than them.)
I can, Meer! ![]()
Unfortunately the many short people in life make use of me as a retriever.
I'm always confused as to how they got the damn things up there in the first place if they can't even reach the cupboard door... ![]()
Well I might be tall but I'm the short one in my family. My brother is 6'6. ![]()
You know what, I think I'm going to peg Solas at around 5'9. Tall for an elf but still shorter than the human men by my guesses. Abelas is probably tipping over 6 feet. He looked really tall in game if I remember correctly.
Oh I remember. And yeah. He was taller than my lady trev and morrigan.Well I might be tall but I'm the short one in my family. My brother is 6'6.

Oh. Oh. Right?! A bigger mystery than the Blight, I think.
Well, guess what... I went and made a folder for my Lysaris Lavellan/Solas fanfic. Guess I better go write something to put in it.
I'll post it when I finish. Yeah?
Please do! I'd love to read your work~

All those Sentinel Elves were super tall. I went and stood next to them in-game and they were gigantic! Well, in the tall and skinny sense. Even towered over Dorian, so I guess ancient Elves were quite tall and possibly taller than humans.

I'm 5'2" AND A HALF. Those half inches count.

Oh my god what if Solas was a shorty back in his day and the other gods poked fun at him for it? And now he's considered tall for an elf!! ![]()

I wonder if modern elves are short only because they have poor diets, dalish or city. And the reason Sera is slightly taller than an elf inquisitor is because she was adopted into comfort while she was still young.

Truthiness? I'm only 5'1" and a half, but I round up /shame

No lie. Europeans are all hornless Qunari.
I'm just under 5'0"

After much lurking, I have decided to actually log in and finish setting up a forums account. I finished the game a couple of weeks ago and have been essentially all over the internet and watching videos and engaging in discussions and looking for art and writing. You all understand this need. Plus, Solas is just a great character, made even more layered by having my poor Lavellan get her heart broken.
I find it interesting there's a height discussion since I was wondering that myself. I don't really see my Lavellan as taller than around 5'3"ish, especially in my mind since she's a rogue. She's small and squirrelly.
Solas does seem on the taller side for elves, but it also sort of depends on what posture he's taking too when comparing to other characters.
