Silver Marches is a supplement to the 3rd edition of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.
Silver Marches details the region known as the Silver Marches in the Forgotten Realms setting. The book details the towns and settlements of the burgeoning Silver Marches alliance, as well as the many hazards that threaten it.
The book notes that Silverymoon is defended by Taern Hornblade, successor to Alustriel as the High Mage of Silverymoon, with Methrammar Aerasumé of the Argent Legion, Sernius Alathar of the Knights of Silver, and Jorus Azuremantle of the Spellguard.
Silver Marches was written by Ed Greenwood and Jason Carl, and published in July 2002. [1] Cover art was by Vance Kovacs, with interior art by Matt Cavotta, Dennis Calero, Michael Dubisch, Jeff Easley, Wayne England, Raven Mimura, Matthew Mitchell, Christopher Moeller, Puddnhead, Adam Rex, Richard Sardinha, and Arnie Swekel.
The reviewer from Pyramid noted that Silver Marches is the first Forgotten Realms book "to transport a highly detailed chunk of the Realms into 3rd Edition", and called it "a worthy read for all DMs". The reviewer also commented on the appearance of the book: "The layout and art team really did a great job. The cover, with art by Vance Kovacs, is fine in both design and imagery; the wrap-around painting of an invading orc horde says a lot about the forging of the Silver Marches. Design and typography are top-notch, with few instances of text crowding and typographic errors. Prose is written with storytelling flair, rarely falling into repetitive style. The interior artwork lives up to WotC's fine reputation, and, though a few images are lacking, the varying styles give the book a dynamic feel. Of particular note are Christopher Moeller's portraiture and Adam Rex's dynamic compositions. Of course, one must always note Todd Lockwood's dragons." [2]
The Monster Manual is the primary bestiary sourcebook for monsters in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, first published in 1977 by TSR. The Monster Manual was the first hardcover D&D book and includes monsters derived from mythology and folklore, as well as creatures created specifically for D&D. Creature descriptions include game-specific statistics, a brief description of its habits and habitats, and typically an image of the creature. Along with the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide, the Monster Manual is one of the three "core rulebooks" in most editions of the D&D game. As such, new editions of the Monster Manual have been released for each edition of D&D. Due to the level of detail and illustration included in the 1977 release, the book was cited as a pivotal example of a new style of wargame books. Future editions would draw on various sources and act as a compendium of published monsters.
The Player's Handbook is the name given to one of the core rulebooks in every edition of the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). It does not contain the complete set of rules for the game, and only includes rules for use by players of the game. Additional rules, for use by Dungeon Masters (DMs), who referee the game, can be found in the Dungeon Master's Guide. Many optional rules, such as those governing extremely high-level players, and some of the more obscure spells, are found in other sources.

The Epic Level Handbook is a rule-book by Wizards of the Coast for the 3rd edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

This is referred to in the book as "epic level" play.
Monster Manual III is a rulebook published in September 2004 by Wizards of the Coast, for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.
