Rise of the Runelords

Planned to start in Perrenland in the North-West part of central Greyhawk, Rise of the Runelords is expected to be a quick-leveling heroic campaign.

Region

The campaign starts in Perrenland, in the township of Sandpoint. Most characters are assumed to be native.

Characters are built on 25 points or by a semi-random method.

Roll a set of nine attribute scores. For each score, roll 4d6 and discard the lowest.
You have 20 points to spend. Decide which of the rolled attributes you want to use, and which you want to discard. For each of the rolled attributes that you keep, you get one extra attribute point to spend. This results in characters built on 20 to 26 ability points.
Spend any remaining points until you have 6 attribute scores in total.
At any time, you can do a 25-point buy instead of taking the rolls.

Humans, Halflings, and Half-Elves have variant rules. Dragonborn are not in play. Gnomes are in play.

Common Races: Dwarves, Eladrin, Gnomes, Humans (Common, Minor, Flan, and Oerdian).

Rare Races: Thieflings, Humans (Olman or foreigeneers). These will attract attention and possibly ire.

All rules from the 4E chapter here on Hastur apply, except those that are specifically noted as highly optional - check those with the DM.
Superior Weapons are generally available, but make much more sense for particular cultures.
