- Introduction -- a single page intro, what is this type of thing
- Geography -- divided into 7 major sections, one for each region of Anwyn. Gives a quick overview, followed by topography giving a list of major terrain and other features (like a list of all rivers and their lengths, etc...)
- Calendar& Weather -- general overview of the monts and days of the week and how many hours and so forth, also a weather generation system (changed a little from what I have released in this forum before)
- History -- pocket history followed by a timeline of events from year 1 (when the peeps frist got there)
- Inhabitants -- a quick overview of the races, including the Grey Elves, a new race for Anwyn
- Political Regions -- a quick overview of the nations of Anwyn
- Religion -- a quick overview of the deities
- Organizations -- -- an overview of the various organizations, including the various clerical orders and the spells that they have available to them
- Magic - any special magical rules, such as the wild magic tables for Tuist Rhion, and any spells for the religious orders that are not in the core rules.
- Bestiary -- Any creatures that are common to Anwyn that are not in the core rules
- Adventures
- Starting Locations -- Mirrhyc (and maybe Hyb Ciuin, but that might go to another product)

If I may recommend, I have always liked the idea of a section for players & GMs and a section for GMs. As an expansion on that - I think an Anwyn players guide derived from a portion of this available for pay what you want would be a cool idea too.
Interesting idea...

What if I kind of combined them so that I have a Chapter called Inhabitants and it went something like this
Inhabitants
- Extra Language -- i.e. explain that all races on Anwyn get one extra written and spokent lange called Englits, which comprises the trade tongue for Anwyn (side note -- part of the magic ANwyn is that everybody knows it, even those who arrive from another world

And I am liking the TOC from the old Emer boxed set.
Not perfect for what I want, but I like how this was organized.....

I think you should organize it as you have suggested and then have a separate "players guide/handbook". One thing that I think lacks in a lot of game worlds (SW in particular) is a generic "this is what a player character would know" guide. Something short, that would allow a new player to step into character quickly
