Well, we *could* have included another Kygor Litor...
It was an editorial decision - there were plans for extended writeups of the Heortling and Lunar Homeland keywords (on the order of 10 pages each instead of 2) , but space got tight, and....
The Heortling pantheon is presented across two books - Thunder Rebels (general heortling cultural info, plus Orlanth and Ernalda) and Storm Tribe (The rest of the pantheon, from Asrelia to Yinkin. Too bad we didn't have a name starting with "Z" ).

Yep, it's gone forever. You have to choose between an immediate benefit that is fleeting (though if it saves your life...) and a long-term imprvement to your hero.
