Personally, I like grouping buy subject.  For two reasons, some
Difficulty Levels will not have a WordRune or TeamRune for every DC or
dragon.  We have been working with the assumption that since a
LightRaider can use WordRunes that are a couple of levels lower than his
Sword of the Spirit rating, we do not have to have a Goblin WordRune for
each and every DL. So the text will seem a bit like Swiss Cheese when
laid out this way.

If we group by subject, say all of the Renewer's WordRunes in one place,
then one does not need to use the cross reference in the back of the book
(but, of course it will be there) one only has to find "Cave Spider" and
all the associated DC WRs would be there.

This could also save on multiple headings throughout the text.  Listing
"Giant" at each appropriate DL with spacing and such will take up more
room than the single group listing.  This could cut down on the total
number of pages and hence the cost of the book.


Yet another option is to put the DL 1-3 WordRunes in the LightRaider
HandBook, as they are now, and the rest of the WordRunes in the WordRune
Book.  This could help new players since they will only need to carry
around one book.
