#lore dumps

with that all being said, i saw this and the idea of a realized lux or sheba taking out maxis while its still a magic 8 ball to the club or whatever is killing me

Yes quite a bit actually!

Thunderstar's lineage:

Thunderstar -> Feather ear -> (missing generations) -> Stoneflower & Tinyclaw -> (missing generations) -> Leafstorm -> Redstar & Amberclaw -> Dawnfeather -> Nettlebreeze & Mapleshade

Petalshade and all of her descendants are from Thunderstar's lineage! this goes all the way to Frostdawn as a matter of fact.

Riverstar's lineage:

Riverstar -> Dusk smoke & Ripple Shine & Arc Shadow -> Aspentail -> Fallowtail & Cedarpelt & Marshcloud

a LOT of modern RC characters have Riverstar's blood. Willowbreeze & Graypool, Silverstream, Feathertail & Stormfur, Sunfish, Frogleap, Sneezecloud, Splashtail. basically anyone descended from Fallowtail or Marshcloud! :P

Shadowstar's lineage:

Shadowstar had no biological kits. However, the erins said they liked the idea of Blackstar being related to Spider Paw. (bear with me here)

Shadowstar and Sun Shadow have a bit of a non-nuclear family situation with Bubbling Stream. They act as mentors and trusted adult figures to her, so Shadowstar does consider Bubbling stream her legacy. Bubbling Stream is the ancestor of Blackstar, who got his polydactyl paw from his mother Hollyflower. (his littermates Flintfang and Fernshade have it as well!)

so Hollyflower, Blackstar, Flintfang, Fernshade, and Badgerfang are Shadowstar's lineage, though not by blood.

Windstar's lineage:

Windstar actually has canonical descendants! being Crowstar & Gale Rise, plus Mistmouse and all her descendants. Here's how it is in WCSR:

Windstar -> Moth flight -> Blue Whisker -> (missing generations) -> Squirrelbrush & her littermate -> Ripplegrass & Duststar -> Crowstar & Gale Rise -> (missing generations) -> Mistmouse

Mistmouse would be descended from Crowstar, whose son was Ryewhisker from Code of the Clans. A LOT of important WindClan characters in WCSR have Windstar's blood

Crowfeather, Mudclaw, Gorsepaw, and Breezepelt, for starters. But also Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze! and Lionblaze's three kits, Spotfur Flywhisker and Snaptooth. plus Spotfur's kits. so Windstar's blood is alive and well in both WindClan and ThunderClan.

Skystar's lineage:

so obviously Skystar is the father of Thunderstar, but I won't repeat Thunderstar's lineage.

his lineage is as follows:

Clear Sky -> Dew Petal -> (missing generations) -> Cloudstar -> Spottedpelt & Gorseclaw -> Thrushtalon -> Mumblefoot -> Adderfang

so Tigerstar, Spottedleaf, Redtail, Longtail, Swiftpaw, Graystripe, Sorreltail, Hawkfrost, Mothwing, Tawnypelt & Brambleclaw, Tigerstar II are all clear sky spawn. and all their descendants. thats SO MANY CATS.

fun fact: Birchfeather means Skystar's blood has returned to SkyClan for the first time in 32 years! (cloudstar died in year 80, and Birchfeather joined SkyClan in yr 112)

Oakpaw crouched low, feeling his whole body quiver. "He's gone, isn't he?" Oakpaw barely managed to choke out. His pads were raw from tracking all over RiverClan territory for what felt like a hundred moons. He heard his father turn sharply to face him. "A fox got him, just like Rippleclaw said." "No," Shellheart replied, clearly struggling to keep his voice even. "Don't talk like that. We'll find Crookedkit. We just have to keep looking. Oh, StarClan, if only my mother were here. No cat could track like her. She would be able to find him" Oakpaw just stared at the snail shell in front of him. So many times, he and Crookedkit fought over whose nest it would decorate when they were warriors. He would give anything to have those arguments again, just to hear his brother's voice.

The Mystical Battle and the creation of the Elder rank

Splashpaw dared to crack an eye open, glancing sideways at his mentor, Reedshine. The great old she-cat swayed ever so slightly in the breeze, but otherwise she was so still and content she could have been sleeping. It was still difficult for Splashpaw to believe that Emberstar assigned him to the Clan deputy; though every cat in RiverClan knew both Emberstar and Reedshine had seen more than their fair share of seasons. In fact, when her grandpaw wasn't paying attention, Emberstar's successor Darkpelt often strutted around camp, boasting how she would soon be Darkstar, leader of RiverClan. The thought of following Darkpelt's orders made Splashpaw's pelt itch, and not in a good way. "Splashpaw," Reedshine's croaky mew gave Splashpaw a jolt. "I can feel you thumping your tail against the pebbles." "Sorry," Splashpaw mumbled. "I'm just no good at this meditation thing." "Yet," Reedshine corrected her apprentice with a wink. "I'll make a proper RiverClan cat of you if it's the last thing I do!"

Splashheart and The Other Reedshine! I actually have a bit of lore for them in WCSR. Will explain under the cut!
