What books have information on what darkwatch is (physically, society-wise, etc)?

Not much society, there...

| Yep. As far as lore goes, I always consider what Ed gives to be the diamond in the ring, but I need to work on the band, as well. |

I found a file in my archives which I entitled "Starglance" Unfortunately I made no notes of where the heck I got this information and in what context. I suspect it may have been from something that Wizards has since torn down from their site. Anybody know where this came from? I'm getting no hits on Google.
Starglance Temple
Brief History
Starglance Temple was dedicated to Sehanine Moonbow in the early days of 3 DR when visions drove a young girl among the Ulondarr Clan to seek out the moonstone studded grotto, open to the night sky, beneath Starglance Hill. Since that time, the surrounding area has been developed into a mostly unspoiled temple community, dedicated to the Daughter of the Night Skies. The legacy of the sibylline oracles of Sehanine made the site a popular pilgrimage destination throughout the history of Cormanthyr. The nature of the site changed once more in 75 DR, when the destruction of Tsornyl by Moander Darkbringer drove the southern Moonshadows to seek out a new stronghold. With the permission of the oracles, they chose Starglance, and have inhabited this place in ever decreasing numbers for centuries.
Darkwatch Trolls
For centuries uncounted, the fierce forest trolls of southern Cormanthor have inhabited the ruins of Tsornyl deep in the Darkwatch. Despite the fierce nature of the Madwood as the place is sometimes called, the Darkwatch trolls have considered these elven ruins to be their home, and operate from its dark boughs with near impunity. Always a nuisance to the Moonshadows and Deepingdale, but rarely more, something has changed about the trolls in the last decade. Gone is the random violence and disunity of the past, for new leaders are arising in the black depths of the Darkwatch. Marked with strange, chalk white markings on their green hides resembling nothing so much as a spider, many among the Moonshadows suspect that their traditional enemy has joined with an enemy far ancient, and that Spider Queen now draws upon the loyalty of the vile giants.
The Lost Rider
A Moonshadow rider from Velethuil was expected in Starglance four days ago, and Sesadi Firehawk has been dispatched from Starglance to seek her. A day earlier, in a hollow less than a day from Starglance, the body of the rider's stormcat was discovered along with troll sign. Sesadi has been tracking the band since then, steadily northeast, and fears the rider, Liandris Mornmist, is being taken to the Darkwatch and out of the reach of her people. |

Also, what in the Realms is a stormcat? |
