The page you posted isn't actually legible, even if you open a new tab. Here they are in better quality.

Ooh, yay! Thanks for posting. Now it's time to try and decipher what's going on. First one takes place in a barren landscape with no leaves on the trees. This seems to be when they are going to attack WC which actually happens in newleaf. So... maybe it took place at the very beginning of newleaf?
Next one is in leaf-bare. Nightpelt and someone else is fighting a fox. That might be Hollyflower but I can't really tell. This one ends with Nightpelt telling Poolcloud to run while the fox encroaches on her. Considering we have don't even know what happens to Poolcloud... Yeah. Hollyflower, Poolcloud, Crowtail, Archeye and Featherstorm never really make another live appearance after Brokenstar exiles them.
Here we have the greenery all around. Maybe newleaf or greenleaf. The conversation is confusing, though. One cat says that WindClan'll never see them coming, while another asks if they're gone. I also don't like that rude blue-eyed gray cat. It looks like a tom since James tends to draw she-cats with lashes. Maybe Boulder? Though I suppose Deerfoot and Wolfstep are options as well, given we don't have pelt colours for them. I can also see who I'm assuming to be Archeye and Hollyflower, alongside Nightpelt. I don't really see Crowtail, Poolcloud or Featherstorm. Did Feather even join the exiled elders? We don't even know thinking back on it. I'm assuming the brown tabby at the end is Littlepaw. As for the other four. The ginger tabby might be Russetfur, the black-and-white cat could be Finchflight and the orange cat with the white belly and paws is a little confusing. As far as we know, Brightflower doesn't have any white.
As for the last panel, I'm guessing that takes place when Brokenstar is being driven out. That cat he was fighting might've been Yellowfang. Blackstar is easy to distinguish and I think that's Runningnose I see. I see a tortoiseshell in the background who might be Fernshade since there weren't any other tortoiseshell's at this point in time.

Holy crap, the relationship between Nightstar and Clawface is actually being expanded upon!!! I loved their brotherly bond in Yellowfang's Secret, and I can't wait to see how Clawface's loyalty to Brokenstar tests that. I hope they don't go fully down the 'Clawface is ableist and resents his brother' route like Nightstar's line about Clawface "thinking (Nightstar) is broken" suggests, though. I can see Brokenstar radicalizing Clawface into thinking like that, but having him hold this mindset from the beginning would go against his characterization in YS, where he's actually a strangely supportive brother.
I also love how absolutely tiny the underaged apprentices look in the battle compared to the adult warriors. It really drives home how cruel it was for Brokenstar to force them to fight fully-grown adult cats.
Nightstar hiding a kit/apprentice is interesting, too. I'm going to guess that this is Brownpaw, an underaged apprentice from TPB who vanished without a trace. We know virtually nothing about him asides from that his mentor was Stumpytail, and his siblings were Littlecloud and Wetfoot. Vicky said on her Facebook that he died of sickness (although this is non-canon), so maybe he's ill and is being hidden so he can recover?
I'd wager that the gray tom in the third image is Boulder. The red tabby in the fourth image is less clear, but I think it could be Russetfur. No clue who the other background cats are, though.

This already looks great! I'm now very excited for the official excerpt for EfS to come out. Even though the one for ASC's first book River will probably be available long before that since it comes out sooner.

Just looked Boulder up and he does have a torn ear.

I'm trying to figure out who those two kit apprentices are in that last page. Oakfur is a light brown and there was never any indication that he was a tabby. Rowanclaw and Cedarheart are out of the question. Same with Lavenderkit. Blossomkit and Swampkit are both white. Does anyone else think they might be Ashheart's family tree kits? Turtlekit is gray, brown and white. While I don't really see any gray, it's still possible. Both of her other two kits are tabbies. One pale gray, the other brown.

Nightpelt: Driving out Windclan is bad Nightstar once Windclan is driven out: Nah, they can stay gone. Sucks to be them

Thanks for posting this, Cinder and Featherstar! I'm so happy to see Clawface and Nightstar's relationship and I hope it doesn't get characterized poorly in the rest of the book.
