I'm pretty sure that cats in StarClan and the Dark Forest fade once they're forgotten right? So basically, a good chunk of the Dark Forest denizens shouldn't have been in the battle in the Last Hope. Are minor unnamed background Dark Forest warriors told in elder tales by the other cats and somehow still remembered? Before Snowtuft (for example) was even introduced shouldn't he already be faded?
Unless the whole faded once everybody forgets about you got retconned and I'm just misremembering.

Pretty sure it was retconned. Because the same was supposedly true for StarClan spirits, and yet we have random DOTC cats still kicking around up there.

I'm inclined to say it was forgotten, but Bristlefrost's perspective mentions Maggottail (esbtalished as a very old spirit back in OotS) keeps flickering in and out of existence, so I don't think it's been necessarily retconned either. You could also perhaps argue that since there's still survivors from the Great Battle and living trainees, the Dark Forest cats that still exist haven't been forgotten yet. As Ambrosef pointed out there's still ancient spirits from DotC seemingly fine, so who knows.

With how inconsistent StarClan lore is, and the prologue from I think long shadows shows the OG 4 leaders meeting (I think “called us back” or something along those lines is mentioned, I’d have to relook for specifics) and vanishing, I like to think that “faded” StarClan cats that aren’t murdered like Spottedleaf have another tier or level of existence they go to after a certain amount of time has passed, with only the most influential ones in history being able to walk modern StarClan hunting grounds.
