How high is the plateau that Torch rests upon?

If the picture of Torch on page 62 of Fires of Creation is accurate, the mesa is between 40 feet and 60 feet high. That picture is not accurate, since it depicts Torch with a city wall, multistory buildings, and lots of spires.

If we use deduction instead, Torch relies on the cliffs surrounding it for protection, so they are at least 20 feet high. A pair of roads wind around Torch, gradually ascending the cliffside until they reach the lowest part of the mesa. Twenty feet would be too low to require that, so the cliffs are at least 40 feet high.

I was thinking 12 meters as well.

I need this for the Technic League's assault on Torch

As high as suits the needs of your story.
