Or wave your hands and make it like lunar specialization. You can specialize in what's his name the skald's magic, but still keep the Donandar talents, but they don't get treated as specialized. However to do this, you have to give up ALL other magic, even unrelated feats.

Or they might be a bit of an exception, since they have a home on the otherside, which most landscape deities wouldn't have. Perhaps there are two ways of reaching them--as landscape deities in the inner world, or as gods in the god's world. Therefore their cults would not weaken their ability as a guardian. However, if someone sacrificed to the inner-world river or mountain to gain as a feat one of their guardian functions, that would weaken the guardian function presumably....but it would be an odd thing to do when there are already two ways to gain their blessings.
