From reading around a bit it would seem that, while not without precedent, polygamy was not a common practice in Valyrian society. I cannot remember where exactly, but it is noted that Aegon’s decision to take both his sisters as wives was considered rather unusual. This fact was even alluded to in one of the animated history shorts of season 7 of the TV show.
As such, I suggest that polygamy be removed as an aspect of the Valyrian faith. Instead, granting all of its followers access to the decision that currently allows Faith of the Seven Valyrians to take a second wife so long as certain requirements are met. This would better simulate the exceptional nature of taking a second wife in the Valyrian faith. If this can’t be done, at least limit the number of extra wives to one instead of two.
