Severian's Height

find a source of exultant blood for Severian. He is tall compared to most people but at least a head shorter than every single exultant he meets. In other words, he is of armiger height just like (who I think are) his family members, Catherine, Cyriaca and Jolenta.<< Does Severian's height mean his mother has to be an armiger? If Ouen is a commoner and Catherine is an exultant, wouldn't Severian be in-between in height? He is taller than the common commoner, shorter than true exultants, and close in size to armigers. Jack

I recall there's an interview somewhere stating that Sev is about six feet tall? He COULD be descended from a family of "normal" humans, though there's certainly evidence to suggest otherwise. -Matt
