I see you, elderly crow. I see you, dying flame.

You've lived a prolonged existence. You've seen it all, Births, deaths, disasters, joys But i believe it's time to rest.

Let the bird rest and molt, Let the searing flame turn to ash. Curl around and close your eyes, Rest away, to the stars.

One day, A new crow with hatch and fly, A new flame with burn and shine, But for now, rest easy.

Rest easy now, Sleep well, Surrounded by the ones you love, You'll wake up, To the sight of the long gone.

(thinly veiled non rhyming poem about a certain transmasc cat that lived up to 182 moons)

Just remember all of these details are as of Moon 48!

Gorgestar:

Old name: Gorgefall

Old position: Historian

Just about two years older than Downstar, he became a leader at a fairly young age

As of Moon 48, he has three lives left.

While his paralysis has not healed despite losing a few lives since the injury, Gorgestar is still a pretty respected leader. His deputy does a lot of out-of-camp duties so Gorgestar doesn't have to drag himself around all the time.

He got a new deputy last moon, a young tom named Lettucecloud whom he hopes will be SlugClan's next leader.

He still considers himself good friends with most of RippleClan's founding cats

He's a pretty good natured and peaceful leader, although he and Mistlestar argue a lot and have had their fair share of battles

Sanderlingstar:

Old name: Sanderlingheart

Old position: Warrior

So, I haven't said it in the lore, cause it just hasn't really applied yet, but, uh, by Moon 48, Sanderlingstar is dead.

WheatClan has a new leader, Gentlestar, formerly Gentlestream. She's still finding her footing as a leader, but she should prove good

Sanderlingstar was a curious and sometimes troublesome cat who settled into a "cheeky grandma" stereotype in her old age

She lost her last life to the same strain of greencough that killed Burdockcreek.

Sanderlingstar is a semi-distant relative of Sunstrike, Oilstripe's mother

Sanderlingstar had a bit of an inappropriate penchant for pranks.

Mistlestar:

Old name: Mistlefrost

Old position: Caretaker

Mistlestar was the only nonbinary/trans cat among the five leaders until Sanderlingstar died and Gentlestar (a trans molly) joined the lineup

Mistlestar was the last leader to gain nine lives before Downstar. With Eelstar and Gentlestar, they are now the second oldest leader in terms of length of leadership

Mistlestar is as no-nonsense in camp as they were during the Moon 11 Gathering.

Mistlestar has five lives left as of Moon 48.

Mistlestar once had to bear a dishonor title (Burnwaste) for half a moon as punishment for their careless cooking resulting in mass food poisoning

do you think crowflame misses the times when his grandpa ruled fallenclan. do you think he reminisces the times when silverbelly, applebranch, honeygleam, maplestar, blizzardfang, pinefrost, molesong, flyspots, mudsplash, goldenstar were still alive. how does it feel crowflame, to be the only one of your generation still alive? how does it feel, to know that everyone in your kithood and apprenticehood is long gone, decaying and being skeletonized? how does it feel to smoke cigars

anyway crowflame wriggles in my brain 24/7.

crowflame smokes weed cigars while talking about his childhood ft. ugly looking mothspots. how many cats still alive have lived through goldenstar's time btw.

this drawing almost made me cry-laugh at work holy fuck. this is easily in my top 10 favorite images of all time

i'll put a list of cats alive that knew goldenstar under the cut :)
