Paarfi will sometimes tell us (for example, I think when telling us of Sethra Lavode in FHYA, he mentions an army composed of Lyorn and Tiassa (I think)), but when he doesn't, we just don't have enough information to be certain (although guessing Dragons is probably the safest bet). Gaereth, after all, is of House Dzur. >Thirdly, as someone on the left side of the height spectrum, I noticed >Pel's discussion with his tailor about the length of his cape or half- >cape.

Did your fashion-knowledgeable friends explain the reason you should avoid long coats? Can you ask them how fashion might be different for a 7-foot tall being?
