orcs compared to men

[Hans Markus Rod]

Don't mean to be a nuisance or anything, but ehr, the Orcs where the same size as the humans. A bit taller actualy. The look small because they are low to the ground. They are always ducking, because they live in tunnels and stuff, but if an Orc would raize to his full size he would be a few inches bigger actualy.

I find that interesting. How do you know that? Do you have polite sources, or do you just assume it?
It could be possible because orcs were twisted elves, and elves usually were a bit higher than regular sized men.
