I'm not quite sure about this, but may his legitimity be questionned? With the blind faith of ishgardians for the Holy See and the isolated war-life they've endured, is the "truth" admitted by all? What do you think?

Spoilerconsidering Aymeric's status as a bastard son who rose to power by his own merit, he's likely seen as a champion to the common folk, and it wouldn't be a stretch to assume they'd love the idea of class equity. so I can say with almost 100% certainty that lowborns/commoners would support Aymeric.Â
we also know that at least one of the former High Houses (Fortemps) supports Aymeric, so there's them as well. however, Fortemps has shown itself to be one of the more progressive Houses, so you can be sure that it's not the majority opinion. (Haillenarte is also questionable though - they seem to have similar tendencies to Fortemps as a result of friendliness between the two. and let's not forget the fact that the WoL helped save their reputation, so Haillenarte is likely to be more amenable to their cause.)Â
Dzemael and Durendaire probably, as a whole, consist of the most dissenters with regards to Aymeric's legitimacy.Â
most highborn Ishgardians would likely oppose Aymeric and any change in class system because of their goddess given 'right' to rule. that, and as was mentioned by the late Thordan VII, it could throw many families into despair because their loved ones' noble sacrifice in the Dragonsong War would mean nothing. a lot of the Ishgardian psyche as a whole is built upon the idea of warring with the 'evil' Dravanians, so a lot of people could wind up disillusioned and without purpose.
so, I'm fairly sure that Aymeric and the 'truth' he champions would be a very controversial topic, and yet another issue that divides Ishgardian opinion.
