Oh, he may!.. The consequences of Artus’s actions may spread further than he thinks, but it’s hard to blame him considering all that had happened. The difference between crows and ravens is well-spotted – ravens are better organized and clever, and while crows can be more violent, ravens are purposeful, so to say. ;) Each their action, including the attack on Southswardeners in the grove and the blinding of the Squirrelqueen, had a meaning. You are free to speculate on their motivation and their next move until it’s revealed, I’m curious to hear your ideas!

Squirrelqueen Genevieve was stated to be a widow in the beginning of the story, so her husband and Artus’s father is dead. Truth to be told, that’s one of the reasons that the bond between mother and son is so strong. However, I didn’t elaborate on his fate much, he was just mentioned several times as Barktooth’s cousin. But yes, no Squirrelking means there is no one to take over Genevieve’s duties, complicating the situation further.
