'thul doubt that RH would have made such a major point about the lengthened limbs if they simply were effectively taller.
Perhaps Elderlings are fairly short of torso, but have unnaturally long limbs?

I'm trying to decipher this so forgive me if I make a mash of it!

Based on how Fitz described them as he saw them in Kelsingra,

I did, indeed, get the impression that Elderlings were simply taller, ah, kind of stretchier (?!) versions of humans? I have an image in my mind but how to describe it I have no idea!

Okay. Here's a picture of the Grand Councilwoman from Disney's Lilo and Stitch as she, with a more human-looking head and feet, probably matches my image regarding Elderling 'shape' better than anything else I can come up with at the moment:

Looking at her, I guess it could be said that her torso is fairly short in comparison to her limbs?

Why is it when I think of something in one thread, I must go and put something related to it in another?!
