Yeah totally credible.

It is mentioned in Salzenmund SB that, paraphrasing a little, Dwarves aren't super keen on the area due to War of the Bears-era military failures. This isn't an obstacle to your plot, in fact may add color. Adds opportunity that the Runesmith sees this as a sort of "homecoming" and reclaiming some of what the Dwarves feel is theirs - stoking diplomatic conflict with the Wood Elves. The Elves may feel that placing Runes on the castle is an insult and a step in the wrong direction, and may seek to intervene and prevent this from happening through subterfuge, sabotage and political angling.

Thanks for the input and suggestions to flesh it out! I always perceived the elf-dwarf relationship post war of the beard more as if the dwarfs maintain an unwaverig grudge whereas the elves are much more passive/distant about it and just look down on dwarves more (as opposed to actively mess with them). Interesting to read your view on the matter!
