I don't really see a great problem there. The Yelmalions control the Sun
Dome County in the south of Sartar, while the Elmali live among the
clans elsewhere in the kingdom (and even rule a few of them). For most
gaming purposes, they are two separate gods, but should your PCs want to
debate which of them is "real", let them - they can both prove they're
right, if it comes to that.
