" No, I'm pretty sure that Salem has explicitly stated she wants everything Ozpin has built to burn. And considering he has been building the Kingdoms and protecting mankind (albeit from the shadows) that pretty much translates to "we want human civilisation to burn".

Not the kingdoms, the academies. "Human civilization" ≠≠≠≠ Ozpin's little cabal. Do you think that her allies aren't part of "human civilization"? You... you do realize destroying the academies causes fear. She is using the fear to make Humanity attract Grimm that will then destroy all of Humanity. All of Vale suffered the Grimm attack at Beacon's Fall. Not only did Haven Academy suffer when all of Vale was being attacked. All of Haven suffered too, and likely other places, but they haven't been talked about. Two whole kingdoms, and maybe more, were suffering because one thing catalyzed it. That was part of the plan of freeing Beacon's Relic for the taking.
