Greetings.
Recently, I came into possession of FR2 - Moonshae; it's a good read and the map is a nice bonus, but I'm hungry for a morsel more. What other supplements (I'm primarily interested in the 2e and 3e/3.5e eras) provide details on these quasi-Celtic lands? |

Also to be fair there was an excellent 4E update in either Dungeon or Dragon, as well as a timeline that used to be the on web page, and a 5E update via Goodman Games available on DM's Guild, which is also excellent and set up a fairly good set of Adventure League modules. |

There is some 2nd Ed lore and character kits regarding classes in the Moonshaes in Wizards and Rogues of the Realms and Warriors and Priest of the realms. |

Moonshae has not had a lot of development post the original era. It's really the original Moonshae supplement and then Ed's Halls of the High King adventure from a couple of years later, plus Doug Niles' Moonshae and Druidhome novel trilogies.
The next item of interest is Shawn Merwin's big article on the Moonshae Isles in Dungeon #196, which is the only substantial, major look at the isles this century.
I collated and summarised a fair bit of the extant info here, though only for the 1371 time period. |

You have FR2. Wooly mentioned FA1. Those are the two biggest. The rest are just references or small (1 paragraph to a couple page) sections
The Draconomicon mentions that Aurus has been to the Moonshaes off-handedly.
Code of the Harpers tells a bit of Bran Skorlsun and his time in the Moonshaes.
Elves of Evermeet talks about a couple Evermeet NPCs that have ties to the Moonshaes, and reveals that there is an Elfgate in Synnoria.
Pages from the Mages has 2 spellbooks from the Moonshaes (taken from Dragon articles of the same name).
FOR9 and FOR10 both have talk about Moonshae backgrounds for characters and their culture a bit in the "Island Kingdoms" sections.
Cult of the Dragon mentions a few dragons and Dracoliches in the Moonshaes that work with the Cult.
One of the "Incipient Clans" described in the Secrets of the Magister are found in the Moonshaes.
The Pantheon set goes into details about the gods of the Moonshaes and their relation to the rest of the pantheon.
Heroes Lorebook (and its predecessor Hall of Heroes) and Villains Lorebook talk about the primary characters from the Moonshaes. Some of these have my favorite character portraits of any D&D product - Prince Tristan and Robyn in HoH; Cyndre and Deirdre Kendrick in VL.
Hope this helps. |

I think The North and Savage Frontier briefly mentioned some small details about the Moonshaes or certain ffolk who came from there. Nothing that added anything new to FR2: Moonshae lore. |

There's also the two novel trilogies set in the Moonshaes and both set during the 2E era. |

Maybe not as much to your liking, but on the DM's Guild, you can get Moonshae Isles Regional Guide -- it's a worthy source.
Sticking with 2E, go for Halls of the High King. |
