Ah, but surely an Elderling would be considered nobility, particularly in the returning of the world to its true course? One only has to look at the elevated status already enjoyed by Malta and Reyn.
At the very least, Thymara will be a 'queen' simply by virtue of her being an Elderling, at least in Sintara's eyes...and her wings would have to place her in an elite group. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch then for her to possibly gain the true title of 'Queen' of the new settlement? Of course, this could clash horribly with Malta's title 'Queen of the Elderlings'!
We would have Queen Etta of the Pirate Isles; Queen Malta of the Elderlings; Queen Thymara of Kelsingra; Kettricken as Sacrifice of the Mountain Kingdom (should Eyod's rule end soonish, or possibly this would pass directly to Dutiful as he is now King of the SD?!); and Queen Elliana of the Six Duchies and Narcheska of the OutIslands (if they chnage their mind and allow her to retain that title!) .
