Silvermoon and Brownfur would've been born while Leafwind was alive (possibly even at around the same time).

The majority of the past was described in a couple character backstories and I'll paste them here:

Greenlight: "Greenlight was the daughter of a Dusk Syndicate cat and a rogue, when she was born one of her den mates Nightpaw took a fancy to her. However, as time wore on Greenlight found she was not interested in Nightpaw in the same way, and the tom was forced to become a medicine cat following the unfortunate death of BlogClan's only medicine cat. Greenlight took a mate and gave birth to Fernkit (later Fernstar) and upon doing so, Nightheart revealed a prophecy that Fernkit was destined to cast a dark shadow over the clan. At first Greenlight ignored it, but as unfortunate things began to happen around her daughter, Greenlight turned to Nightheart for help and to keep the 'truth' about Fernpaw hidden. Nightheart agreed as long as Greenlight bore his kits, which she would have to keep secret since medicine cats weren't supposed to have kits. Desperate to protect her daughter Greenlight agreed and bore a litter of kits, keeping the father of them a secret from Fernshadow (Fernstar's warrior name) and the rest of the clan. Greenlight died due to a sickness, although Fernshadow/Fernstar grew suspicious later that perhaps Nightheart had allowed her to die, so he could be the sole guardian and guide of their kits."

Nightheart: "Nightheart was the medicine cat who fell in love with Greenlight, Fernstar's mother. He was forced into the role of medicine cat when the old medicine cat died and thus was denied any realistic chance of being with her, despite Greenlight turning him down. However, seeing the potential in his new position, when Greenlight bore another tom's kits, Nightheart was able to make the tom die in such a way it looked like an accident and then warned Greenlight after Fernkit was born that he'd seen Ferns casting shadows over a nasty piece of prey. He told Greenlight this meant that Fernkit would cast a dark shadow over the clan.

Greenligh ignored him until unfortunate events began to happen around Fernkit/Fernpaw, though the final straw was when Fernpaw was named Fernshadow, just before two kits who were about to be made apprentices attacked the clan leader. Nightheart told Greenlight this confirmed his prophecy and Greenlight begged him not to share this information with the leader. Nightheart agreed on the terms that Greenlight would bear his kits, and never reveal the truth about who their father was.

After Greenlight died, leaving Blazepaw, Firepaw and Shadowpaw without their mother, Nightheart took advantage of this and told the three tom cats (Firepaw and Blazepaw) that they were part of an important StarClan prophecy, they were destined to get rid of a dangerous threat to the clan. He told them that 'the Fern's cast a dark shadow over the clan, and can only be cleared through a bright burning flame'. The young toms took this to mean they had to get rid of Fernshadow who was looking to become deputy.

Fernshadow was out hunting with Blazepaw and just before the young apprentice got up the nerve to try something a badger attacked them, it was revealed that Fernshadow had been pregnant with kits and after being struck in the stomach by the badger to protect Blazepaw they'd all perished leaving Fernshadow crushed with grief and her mate angry that Fernshadow had been so careless.

Nightheart congratulated Blazepaw on his good work, but Blazepaw never contributed to any of Nightheart's efforts to hurt Fernshadow any further.

Nightheart continued to harass Fernshadow through his kits even after Fernshadow became leader. He urged Fernstar to take in Crimsonrose, and make other actions that resulted in cats ending up in the Dark Forest taking advantage of his position as medicine cat. He even had one of his apprentices killed off to keep them from telling Fernstar the truth.

Nightheart was eventually killed off by Crimsonrose and Fernstar, when Firestorm took one of Fernstar's lives during a hunt and was about to kill her off. Crimsonrose arrived and killed Firestorm and told Nightheart he was a coward with no honor, and that he should've fought his battles himself rather than let his kits do his dirty work for him.

Crimsonrose and Fernstar brutally struck out against Nightheart, Crimsonrose holding him down while Fernstar let loose every scrap of rage and pain Nightheart had inflicted upon her, with Nightheart dying leaving the former BlogClan leader with his prophecy: 'The Fern will cast a dark shadow over the clan, only a bright burning fire can burn it away, until the flames are doused by the rain." "

Blazehawk: "Son of Greenlight and Nightheart, although he didn't know he was the son of Nightheart until after he met his mother in StarClan. After his mother died, Nightheart told him and his brother Firestorm that they were destined to save the clan. That due to a prophecy they were the fire that would destroy the fern casting shadows over the clan. Blazepaw knew that the only cat with Fern in their name was Fernshadow, who was their half sister, and he was scared at the thought of hurting his kin.

When he was out hunting with her one day, they were attacked by a badger and Fernshadow saved his life but lost her unborn kits in the process. After seeing the pain she'd suffered to save him, Blazepaw decided the prophecy had to be wrong, and that since it didn't explicitly mention a 'blaze' he wasn't part of it and didn't want to be part of it. So when Nightheart congratulated him Blazepaw felt regret and guilt instead. He went to his friend Skypaw for comfort and the two of them bonded.

Blazehawk became supportive of Fernstar as time wore on, and was shocked when she and Crimsonrose returned with Firestorm and Nightheart dead, Fernstar telling them that Firestorm and Nightheart had betrayed them and tried to kill her and that only thanks to Crimsonrose was she able to survive.

Blazehawk grieved his brother, and began to doubt, but kept his doubts to himself, however when Skysong had his kits he named one of them Burningkit, hoping that she could resolve the prophecy that he and his siblings had failed to complete. "

Basically a prophecy caused drama around Fernstar and thus affected the rest of the Clan :P It was by no means peaceful, but it was definitely a bit less bloody than today *cough*noviper*cough*
