Appledusk’s Kin and What Happened to Them by Brillig

Brillig lists the members of Appledusk’s family and their fates after Mapleshade’s Vengeance.

As we know from Crookedstar’s Promise and Mapleshade’s Vengeance, Mapleshade vowed revenge upon Appledusk and all his descendants for all time. This article will be going through all known cats related to Appledusk and their ultimate fates. I will also be including cats who aren’t directly related to Appledusk but are mates and kin to those who are, like Willowbreeze.

As we can see, the descendants of Appledusk, whether by birth, marriage(mateage?) or adoption, seem to have a suspiciously high death rate.
At this point, I’m basically expecting Mapleshade to push one of Stormfur’s kits off a cliff or something.
All ages and some deaths I have sourced from the Warriors Wiki.
Thank you for reading!
