Finnall Goldensword Finnall Goldensword ( also spelled Finall ) is the daughter of high elf Kilnar Goldensword of Dalaran and an unknown human ( rumored to be Daelin Proudmoore ) . Quiet rumors have existed for years about Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore ’ s half - elf daughter , Finnall Goldensword . In his youth , during military movements in Lordaeron , Proudmoore had several polite encounters with the high elf sorceress Kilnar Goldensword . Those polite encounters led to a handful of discreet liaisons that inevitably brought Finnall into the world . Proudmoore had been married by that time , and Kilnar had agreed to keep the father of her baby a secret . Kilnar was a well - respected high elf , and because of this Finnall received better treatment than most of her kind . Her mother , raised among the high elves in the wizard city of Dalaran , told her of her father ’ s identity when she became fully grown . Having met Proudmoore several times and greatly admiring him , she decided to follow the path of her father instead of her mother and become a warrior . When the Scourge came to Dalaran , Finnall was unable to stop their destruction of her home or the murder of her mother by Arthas himself . She resolved to remain in Lordaeron and rid the continent of the Scourge , a mighty task indeed . Most of the high elves who remained after the battle embraced their magical Highborne ancestry and became the blood elves ; they would not stoop to follow a half - elf . The humans who remained on the continent would not believe her when she claimed Proudmoore as her father . Proudmoore attempted to convince Finnall to travel with him to Theramore to attack Durotar , but she refused , claiming his place was with her to free Lordaeron from the Scourge . He tried to convince her that the continent was lost to the undead , but she rejected his reasoning and considered him a traitor to his homeland . With her mother dead and father departed for easier battles ( in her opinion ) , Finnall remains with her small band of humans and those high elves who rejected the path of the blood elves . Using guerrilla tactics , she picks off a Scourge encampment here or a caravan there . She is a strong warrior , and thinks of nothing but her goal of freeing her homeland . Any half - elf who encounters Finnall may wish to join with her . Fighting alongside a member of their race with such strength of body and character — who doesn ’ t have any hang - ups concerning where she came from — is a dream come true for some half - elves . Brann Bronzebeard ' s account . One interesting tale I ’ ve heard is of a half - elf named Finall Goldensword . This woman is the daughter of the high elf mage Kilnar Goldensword of Dalaran and an unknown human ( rumor says it was Daelin Proudmoore , though few humans believe the tale ) . When Dalaran and her mother fell to the Scourge , Finall tried to unite the surviving humans and high elves around her . Unfortunately , the humans mistrusted her and the disdainful high elves refused to follow a half - breed . Stung but not dissuaded , Finall refused to give up ; she calculated that success would bring more people to her banner than her bloodline ever could , and has fought a guerilla war against the Scourge ever since .
