Does Accrington have a reputation for producing tall folk ? or are Arroders just height impaired

No, Accringtonians are normal size.

Probably because much of Arrod is in the shadow of Whalley Nab, and doesn't get much sunlight.

Which means they are a town of munchkins, and anyone over 5'2'' draws attention to themselves.
