IIRC the "original" Orlanthi Emperor was Erlandus or some such. Orlanatus was identified with RT by both side in the First Age. I find it hard to believe that the identification is weaker for the Yelmies than by the Orlanthi.

OTOH if the storm worshippers of Heortland or Brolia can call IG the Evil Emperor, the Solars are presumably, equally capable of transferring the identification to another foe.
