Is that Thingol?

If that is supposed to be Thingol in the white robes, then he is depicted way too short.

His head should be about where the top of his staff is located.

He is the tallest of all of Illuvatar's Children...and therefore should be in the neighborhood of 8' tall.

In that pic, the two elves and Eol, should they be standing on the same ground as Thingol would only be a couple of inches shorter than him. While the average height of elves of the First Age were typically ~7' tall, this means Thingol should be far taller than them, not merely by a couple of inches.

That's probably a representative of Turgon holding his staff. Thingol was the king of Doriath, not Gondolin's. LorenzoCB (talk) 22:53, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Doh! My bad, I meant Turgon. Wasn't he the second tallest next to Thingol?

Thanks for the reply and correction. Lost Númenórean (talk) 13:55, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
