I've seen Mt Rainier (14410 ft) from Othello, WA, a distance of around 168 mi (270 km). It stuck up from the Cascades, and looked almost like a cloud (it's snow-capped) if you didn't know what it was.
The Block is only about 120 km from Boldhome (300 km from the Temple of the Reaching Moon in Tarsh). I think if it's tall enough, it could be seen from Tarsh, given good cloud conditions, and the Quivin mountains not being in the way. So the question is, how tall is the Block? Hard to tell from the cover of Pavis (which is also around 120 km away, though with fewer mountains in between).
Related question: how high is Tada's High Tumulus? From the RQ2 map, it looks taller than anything else. (Wintertop is 4000 feet above sea level.)

Goldgotti is Manirian? Do you have a source for this? (I'd love to know more about the counters.)
