Where exactly is Skarner in current lore?

According to the few lines of new lore we have now, Skarner is now the guardian of "something" burried in the desert. Since Sivir and Cass could enter to the place you would expect to be the most heavily guarded in the entire desert and never even saw him, I can't help but wonder if he is guarding something else, or they forgot to add him. Where exactly is he right now?

For the people who don't know, Skarner had a very unique relation with Lore. In times of the JoJ, there was an ongoing narration which ultimately ended with the creation of the Crystal Scar as a new battleground. Skarner awoke when Zilean used a spell to time stop the soldiers from Demacia and Noxus fighting at Kalamanda. It really feels terrible that a champion linked so much to the lore was suddenly trown into a cave in the desert and forgotten, just like that.

What about Xerath? They took a character who was interesting and somewhat relatable, even if he was selfish with a "ends justify the means" mentality, and turned him into Jafar. We already had an evil for the sake of evil character, and that was Veigar .

Give Riot ~20 hours to finish their Shurima lore event. I'd expect basic lore about all the involved champions by then, lore that indicates who these characters are and something about their motivation. It's not really good for fans of a certain champion to not even know their champions character, suddenly their favorite character changed identity and that would leave a terrible feeling at fans of that champion (going from good to evil or vice versa for example).

I main both Xerath and Skarner, before their rework, and after their rework. Right now these lore changes make me feel a bit empty. I'd like to know more about my two favourite champions, now that their identities got totally changed. I'd like the quality of their stories to not go down, because their old stories were really fascinating and smehow unique.

Soooo riot deleted the Amumu/Skarner/Rammus lore and don't even tie them in with the videos? This is what they show for the only lore content they've released in a year?

These three sentence bios are supposedly for the in game client. Their "full" bio's should be on the website eventually. When "eventually" is, I have no idea.
