So, doing some thinking on the plot for myself...

I think having Enoch as a Big Bad state makes sense. They've been designed with Big Bad state in mind. However, they shouldn't be the immediately pursued threat; Enoch is "coming," so to speak, but isn't quite on the continent yet.

Having Enoch's arrival come later allows for a party of adventurers / heroes / what-have-you to form before the threat actually arrives. Then, when it arrives, there's various ways to prepare to face Enoch - but it's something that should take a LOT of effort to bring to a halt.

I'll also add that the Commonwealth is going to try and avoid any wars unless forced or convinced. War can be good for business, but war against a much stronger foe? Not so much. They'd rather sit behind the safety of their walls than march an army out to meet the Cabals in battle.

This quote made my day. I hope, however, that the Commonwealth doesn't just come across as LotR style dwarves; they were an inspiration, but so was Italy and Scandinavia... and I suppose dwarven politics as portrayed in Dragon Age: Origins and the Warcraft universe. (Yeah, people like making dwarves have the meanest politics.)
