Their affiliation is adequately explaied already:

Following Beacon, Haven Academy is their next target. Headmaster Lionheart, Cinder’s Faction and Hazel, with aid from Raven Branwen, Vernal, and Adam's White Fang troops, planned to enter Haven Academy's Vault to retrieve the Relic of Knowledge, and blow up the CCT when they were finished to make their escape.

Raven and Vernal don't need more focus than that, they didn't join forces with Salem but merely aided Cinder and crew in overruning Haven and entering the Vault for their own goals.
