Please, let me know what other information may be useful.

If possible, I would suggest using the Steam or Flatpak version instead. 1.14.10 specifically had a fix for using SDL 2.0.10, and 1.14.13 had fixes for a memory leak as well as a significant engine bug.

Thank you for the recomendadion, I think I'll do so, but, is there a way to migrate my progress?

I just realized how to migrate my progress (the build information tells the saved games directory). However, it still crashes the same way in the elven council, it draws some hexagons with the rest of hexagons in black and the first dialog from the scenario; and then it all goes black.

I also just discovered how to skip the scenario without using debug mode by just pressing Esc, so it is a kind of workaround since the scenario is just dialog.

This should be fixed now. The issue was that the game was built with SDL 2.0.9 but was using 2.0.10 at runtime.
