✭✭✭✭Deliberate selective breeding. Any high elf offspring who don't measure up are declared hulkynd and abandoned. All part of the path to Alaxon.PC EU1 -
Benzux✭✭✭✭Being tall is a "racial feat" of the Altmer, always has been. Just like how the Bosmer are shorter than most other mortal races, with a few Khajiit subraces coming close to their height.
And as was pointed out above, the Altmer are obsessed with their heritage, to the point where parents will arrange marriages for their children so they might produce the best possible offspring (while also gaining political/monetary value out of said marriage, of course).BenzuxGamer - Xbox One since day 1 - CP 1800+Guildmaster of the Sacrificial Warriors, one of the oldest and most member-orientated Guilds on the Xbox One EU Megaserver"Casual" player from Finland who enjoys questing and dumb builds even after well over 1000 CP levels and 4000+ hours.
