I'm similar to ɴᴘᴄ - most of my characters don't exactly worship their guardian deities, but I like them to match. So this has given me some fodder to maybe switch them around a bit.
I think I'm keeping Aghurlal as Byregot - initially I was like "well it doesn't work as well if Byregot isn't Rhalgr's actual son", but then I remembered the implication I wrote into Aghurlal's backstory that he isn't really his father's son either, but a bastard by his mother. So while the analogy isn't direct... it wasn't really direct before either, haha!
He's still got the whole "separating from his father in order to build instead of destroying" thing going on, so it's cool.
And it's not a real pantheon if there's no symbolic incest.
