It's quite feasible. You just need to avoid encountering the dwarf priests from Grimheim (or wherever they come from), who only appear after you've captured all the cities of their brethren/elves on the map. In this case, you'll receive a message suggesting that it's best to avoid this hero. However, you can and even should eliminate the other dwarves. Personally, I didn't have any problems with this.

That's what I'm talking about. Avoiding them is one thing, but fleeing is another. I'm saying that the encounter didn't happen at sea, but in a city. It turns out that I have to give them my cities, where they stick their arrogant faces. It would be better if the dwarves from Grimheim patrolled a certain route, and you would try to maneuver between them to avoid an encounter. But here, if you haven't managed to capture all the cities, obtain two runes, and get the blue key to rush to the last shrine, you'll end up fighting them anyway. Because they will find you.
I understand that this is a secondary task – you can do it if you want, or not. But I think the more realistically achievable tasks there are, the more interesting the game becomes.
But this is just... a thought
