No, the cherry on top is if he is saying "to honour the proud traditions of Lys" while doing it.... Oh this is beautiful.

That name is already sullied.
Bloodstone Emperor
Emperor of Valyria
And then of course there's the Yellow Emperor in the far east, Hastur himself. I'm... more than a little terrified of that.

Not sure if that is an actual thing in this world. Hastur being a thing.
For all we know the "Yellow Emperor" could be because of the color of his palace or something.

*looks at deep oceans, Krakens and Illithids*
*Looks at aberrations in general*
Yeah, no.
I'm not holding any hopes here.
Others dealth with, the next most likely apocalypse is, as always, Terrors From Beyond.

Unfortunately, GRRM was a huge Lovecraft fan, so quite a few eldritch horrors made it into ASOIAF. It would not surprise me in the slightest if at the very least the Yellow Emperor was an agent of Hastur.

While aberrations are a well documented thing true lovecraftian gods do not exist in D&D without the GM MAKING them a thing. There ARE expies of them, but not that are directly the same lovecraft gods.
Or do you want this to become a multicross? Because that would make this a crossover for 3 different settings.
1. ASOFAI/Game of thrones
2. D&D
3. Lovecraft
If we add the exact same eldritch beings it would make this a multicross which means it will get really, really crazy.
See above.
And even if it does become a multicross my point still stands. Not everything that sounds similar has those meanings.

The Emperor of Valyria did in the Doom. That's dumb, but not too bad.
The Yellow Emperor is respected and feared.
This motherfucker though? He's a total joke!
Better to be geared than laughed at.

Lovecraftian horrors very much exist in the Pathfinder cosmology, and that's where about 75-90% of what DP pulls planar lore and structure from rather than using traditional D&D lore.

The lovecraftian deities are a normal part of Pathfinder.
Trust me. I played a Cleric of Azatoth.

At MOST an agent, or maybe a super powerful monk.
But it has been stated that full blown edlritch gods cannot live in this plane simply because they are to big and the planar walls prevent something of their scale from entering.
..... Holy sh!t, that means pathfinder is, in and of itself, a crossover... That makes me feel oddly violated...
EDIT: Wait, isn't DP cherry picking from pathfinder? It might not be a full blown multicross.
Seriously multicrosses get really weird and if this is an HP lovecraft multicross then there is some serious insanity in our future. Things like living houses, "Light in colors that should not be", extreme racism and sexism to the point of ridiculousness, tentacle beasts that engulf little girls and drop them out pregnant with eldritch horrors (yes that is a thing in one of his stories...), and much much more... Seriously, HP lovecraft's stuff is weird.

What do you think the Drowned God is? What do you think the Black Goat is?

Hmm. I don't remember reading anything about him being a few thousand year old. I thought he was a new pretender.
It will probably a very long time before Viserys will have to deal with the Far east. Hopefully, he will be a Great Wyrm with 10 mythic ranks at that point.

standard eldritch god expies.

Expies only in the loosest sense. GRRM has absolutely littered the setting with Lovecraft references, of which the Drowned God and the Black Goat were the most prominent. The Yellow Emperor being yet another reference does not bode well.

If it is indeed a refference at all.
Just being the voice of skepticism (and hope), it might refer to something his country possesses that is very valuable (Ex: The Jade Emperor was not a possessed statue made of green stone) or something similar.
Infact, the name "Yellow Emperor" is, in fact, kind of calling himself higher than hastur if he truly does exist in this verse since hastur's title is "The Yellow King" and an emperor the king of kings (akin to the term "High King".).
I really dont want to deal with lovecraft's special brand of crazy. Seriously, it get's really f*cked up.

This is a fool's hope at best given the trends we've seen in this quest.

Until it is confirmed or disproved both are equally unlikely. Kind of like Schrodinger's Cat.

The people in Qohor just got very, very lucky that they haven't already been fully consumed.
There's also Nurgle in the dreamlands in Essaria.
