How tall is Vlad supposed to be? SKZB describes various characters height throughout the various books, but I can't think of anyplace (except maybe Athyra?) where he mentions how tall Vlad is supposed to be. Is he tall or short for an Easterner? Was the Dragon Guard at the Dragon Wing of the palace who's breasts were at eye level tall or short for a Dragon? Out of all the times I've read the books in this series, I cannot recall any mention of his height being made. Athyra will be the next book in my current re-reading of the series, just to see if I am forgetting something.
