scion, n. 1. a descendant. 2. a shoot or twig, esp. one cut for grafting or planting; a cutting.

It's a fancy dwarven way of saying that he's a "son of the mountains".

Interestingly, up until one minute ago when I grabbed my dictionary to look up and copy the precise definition of this word, I'd always assumed it was pronounced with a hard "c" sound: sky-on. Apparently not. The "c" is silent, like in "science": sigh-on.

I honestly don't think I've ever heard anyone say this word.

Thanks to comments from approximately 600 readers, I am now somewhat reliably informed that the word "scion" is used extensively in the movie Dogma, and also that there is a make of Toyota marketed in the USA named the "Scion". Seems like an odd name for a car to me, but then pretty much all car names sound weird.
