If you are saying that the Ravens stood with Nicholas in the end, you are right, but they were undeniably allies before so. The Ravens maneuvered themselves in such a way as to avoid their own annihilation as has been their way. The Ravens are survivors. Nicholas made some fairly character defining moves to coerce the Ravens into cooperation, including his role in the false flag nuclear detonation. The Raven khan figured things out in the end.
Except literally none of this matters
now. The Ravens of the current era are not aware of any of this, because they rewrote their own history per Nicholas’ wishes. Therefore it has no bearing on the current era whatsoever. You can’t ascribe characteristics to the Ravens that they themselves excised centuries ago.
And the Ravens didn’t do any maneuvering to avoid their own Annihilation, because they never stood openly with the Wolverines once they were targeted by Nicholas. The only Clan that even came close to doing so, the Blood Spirits, were censured by the Grand Council and targeted by the Burrocks and others for punishment. Not so the Ravens.
Oh, and then there’s this passage from the first chapter of Betrayal of Ideals: “Joyce Merrell, Khan of the Snow Ravens. Her presence would be much more pleasant.
While Khan Merrell was far from being an ally of McEvedy and her Wolverines, they did share the same values and she appeared to be open to new ideas and thoughts, as opposed to Karrige and his Widowmakers.”
