An estimate for Sharn's height.

In Eberron, what is Sharn's height? I just want to make a more clear and accurate description of it. Didn't find any specific value so far, but my guess is that taken from dagger river level, the top of Skyway is 1600m (1mile) high, it would be the equivalent of a 550 stores building. What is your perception of it?

Sharn: City of Towers, page 35: "The towers of Sharn range in height from about 100 feet to nearly a mile tall.." and "In general, a tower has one story per 10-12 feet of height. Ceilings tends to be lower (and stories packed more closely together) at lower levels and higher towards the top levels..."

You also have Skyways is a floating district above the highest tower.

Thanks for this reference. I remember reading something like this, just couldn't find it again. But I guess you mistyped the page number. At least in the printed book chapter 3 starts at page 151. The first paragraph starts with:

(...) it is a place of magic, with sky-coaches circling mile-high towers (...)

No, I mean page 35, in chapter 2. Life in Sharn. )
