As far as having scions 'for' specific city states I don't think that really matters anymore now that the focus it beyond the initial three city states and now into other lands. In ARR it made sense, in HW and beyond we don't really 'need' a scion assigned to each region anymore story wise.

I'm also not sure I'd say Y'shola is a 'main' character on the same level as the twins, they especially Alph seem more important than Y'shtola to me. She seems more on the level of Thancred ad Popalymo before he died, maybe slightly above them but not eclipsing them. The only thing that really stood out over the others was she was the first one to come back in HW, but still Alph was high above her in importance.
Alph is his own level currently. But still Y'shtola enjoys the most screentime overall and the most involvment with other storylines (Warring Triads, Alexander...etc) followed closely by Thancred. Alisaie is catching up, but only post HW.
