Can a player use races from the books Races of the Wild, Races of Stone, or Races Of Destiny for a level one character and if so witch ones? Of coure a race like the Gnoll has to one of the rare cases of going to the good side.

The PC races are listed in the Living Greyhawk Campaign Standards:

http://www.wizards.com/rpga/downloads/LGCS_v4-2.zip

===
You may choose any race and class option described in the
Player’s Handbook v.3.5. You may also choose a class listed
in the Expanded Creation Options section, listed below.
The Living Greyhawk campaign also uses the following
special rules for character creation. These override or limit
the character options in the PHB.

Human characters should choose one of the subraces
of humanity explained in Chapter 2 of the Living Greyhawk
Gazetteer as their primary racial background These subraces
include Baklunish, Flan, Oeridian, Olman, Rhennee,
Suloise, and Touv. While very few humans are purebred,
most do have a dominant ancestry that shows. Elf characters
must be of the gray, high, or wood subraces. Dwarves may be
hill or mountain dwarves. Gnomes must be rock gnomes.
Halfl ings may be lightfoot, tallfellow or deep halfl ings.
All half-orcs are human/orc crossbreeds. When choosing
a subrace that is not in the PHB, please see Table 3-2 on
the following page for information on the races above not
listed in the PHB.

[Blah, blah, blah]

The other subraces listed in that table:

Gray Elf -2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int Wizard None – As standard elf
Wood Elf +2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Con, -2 Int Ranger None – As standard elf
Mountain Dwarf as standard dwarf Fighter None – As standard dwarf
Tallfellow Halfling as standard halfling Rogue Yes – See MM v.3.5 page 149
Deep (Stout) Halfling as standard halfling Rogue Yes – See MM v.3.5 page 150

I play a Deep Halfling druid. Darkvision is nice.

And the PCs first AR for either of these races must be "Blood on the Bright Sands".

Not the worst idea ever, but certainly not a good one (in my opinion)...
