Here is precisely what would have occurred had Raven not done what she did:

Spring would have died, to the wilds, or the traitor, years ago, the only difference would have been if Cinder killed her, Amber might not have died so early because her protection might have been tighter and Cinder less motivated to kill her, but then Cinder likely would still be the best trained maiden, as Raven wouldn't be one... she also wouldn't have any skin in the game at all, so she wouldn't have been there to help stop anything, and Salem would have had at least 1 full maiden and 1 or 2 more relics by now... and no-one who stood a chance of stopping her maiden, not even other maidens. The problem with this theory is Cinder isn't much older than the main cast, so she might've been younger than 10 by the time Spring fled Mistral, so there was no chance of her stealing Spring's powers. Heck, this was long before she met Salem, so there's no chance of Spring falling into her hands.
