RHYSAND AS A HIGH KING!!!!
Alright people, I know many of you don't like the idea of Rhys being the high king, the hint for which Sarah just dropped in #acosf but I think he would be the best high king prythin could ever get.
Just think about it. He was the one who knew about Amarantha's plan even during under the mountain as well as the threat the king of hybern posed.
He was the one who gathered all of the prythin when the high lords were just content ruling over their own territories and knew nothing of the impending war upon them. I know the night court is supposed to be the hero but still it's like they r just concerned with their particular courts and don't tread any further.
Even in acosf, he is the one who's doing everything to avoid a new war. Eris does helps and knows about it because he's father is involved. And no other high lord is privy to this and neither do they know what is happening outside of their territories.
A good ruler would be the one who's willing to do anything and even sacrifice himself for the good of their people which is who Rhys is.
I know that many people hold this against Rhys that he only shielded velaris during Amarantha's reign but something is better than nothing. This scene is also explained in the series when Rhys admits that he did what he could and carried the weight of not saving the others with him.
Let's also not forget that Rhys could have allied with hybern and avoided the war all together but he thought about all of the prythin and also about the humans.
He did made a few bad choices but who doesn't? Even the most wisest kings make bad decisions once in a while but Rhys does what needs to be done for the greater good.
Not to mention that the beasts carved into the pillars in hewn City are the same ones who were present in the great history of prythin and Nesta is also shown them when she's in prison. I think that Rhys is meant to be the high king and this also has to do with his ancestors history with that of the only high king prythin ever saw. I also have a theory that the high king that existed before is Rhys's ancestor or something.
I can't wait to see him becoming the high king and feyre high queen.
