Riardi Genetic Codex- Body Height Details

The Body Height (HGT) locus controls adult riardi height, ranging from an absolute minimum of three and a half feet to a maximum ceiling of eight feet.

  • H1 (3.5’ - 4.0’): Ancestral allele originated with the Ribold.

  • H2 (4.0’ - 5.0’): Baseline allele associated with Central and Rithi.

  • H3 (4.5’ - 5.5’): Baseline allele associated with Northern, Ore, and Riumae.

  • H4 (4.5’ - 6.0’): Baseline allele associated with Southern, Nuria, Opal, and Riasax.

  • H5 (6.5’ - 7.0’): Ancestral allele originated with the Aeryardi.

  • H6 (7.0’ - 7.5’): Ancestral allele originated with the Aervalk.

  • H7 (7.5’ - 8.0’): Ancestral allele originated with the Lyrdi.

  • H8 / H9 (8.0’ Flat): Baseline alleles associated with the Nexus maximum ceiling.

    Height Inheritance Rules

  1. Incomplete Dominance: Locus pairings lock directly into the statistical midpoint between the two specific numeric allele ranges. No blending occurs beyond the mathematical midpoint of the parent ranges. See the Riardi Body Chart Summary for further details.
  2. Homozygous Baseline: Matching allele pairs (e.g., H1/H1 or H5/H5) express the exact baseline range of that lineage as established in the master summary chart.

Mid-Point Reference

  • Ribold × Southern (H1/H4): Midpoint calculates to an intermediate range of 4’0” - 5’0”.
  • Northern × Opal (H3/H4): Midpoint calculates to an intermediate range of 4’5” - 5’9”.
  • Aeryardi × Aervalk (H5/H6): Midpoint calculates to an intermediate range of 6’9” - 7’3”.
  • Lyrdi × Nexus (H7/H8): Midpoint calculates to an intermediate range of 7’9” - 8’0”.
