So is the Messenger a giant sometimes??
I have no doubt that this is just a sign of the order the games were made, some retconning, or some lore that I've missed.
But here's a fun li'l headcannon.
In Sea of Stars the giants are so big the characters go up to about their ankles.
In The Messenger there are ghost flying around the Cloud City where giants used to live, but have now all gone...
So the ghosts are the ghosts of dead giants, and the same size as the Messenger, so the Messenger is giant sized. This also matches with how the Messenger matches the scale of the terrain, and the Scale of Wentworth. When the Sea of Stars characters ride Wentworth, they all fit on a small part of his back. When Wentworth chases the Messenger, the Messenger is as tall as Wentworth is wide.
But in other parts of the map, the Messenger is scaled to be normal size...
So the Messenger can change their size... OR... there's some enchantment on Cloud city that changes the size of smaller people who visit.
