Finn Sourscowl was the High King of the Dwarfs in the Dawi's Silver Age. In this time, the Dwarfs of the Karaz Ankor were at peace in the Worlds Edge Mountains. The Greenskin threat had been greatly reduced after the Battle of Black Fire Pass, and the Dwarfs enjoyed a level of prosperity unseen since their Golden Age.[1a]
Sourscowl had two sons, named Elmador Finnson and Oldor Finnson. The princes were captured by a large Orc warband. The few Dwarfs who escaped the ensuing battle returned badly wounded to the Dwarf hold and delivered the new of the princes' capture to the high king. Eventually Sourscowl pleaded with the notable Dwarf heroes Dorin Heldour and Katalin Kandoom to return his sons to him.[1a]
Both were talented warriors as well as scouts and trackers. The princes had been taken to Black Crag. Eventually, the Dwarf heroes located the princes and brought them back safely to the high king. Sourscowl rewarded the heroes' bravery handsomely.[1a]
