Big Shuriman Plot Continuity Problem

EDIT: RIOT ANSWERED THIS THREAD. THERE IS NO PROBLEM. ORIGINAL POST KEPT BELOW.

The release of Confessions of A Broken Blade and update of Irelia’s lore has created a large plot continuity problem for Shurima’s lore. I would like clarification from Riot about whether it exists and, if it does, what its implications are.

Specifically, Taliyah was sixteen when she left her tribe to learn about her powers and sixteen when she returned to Shurima after hearing that Azir had arisen. Her journey included being tricked onto a Noxian warship that sailed to Ionia during its invasion and thrown off when she refused to use her powers to bury sleeping villagers in their homes. This event ties that period to a particular year of her life.

Here’s the problem. Her return to Shurima during that same year ties the invasion period of Ionian history to the period of Shuriman history during which Azir arose again. Therefore, any significant passage of time in one period will have to be reflected in the other. By our understanding, the Ionian invasion happened seven years ago, implying that

The situation in Shurima has advanced seven years. Azir has defeated Xerath and Renekton and declared himself emperor. Or, Xerath and Renekton have defeated Azir, Nasus, and Taliyah and declare themselves rulers. Or maybe Taliyah has persuaded Nasus and Sivir to fight Azir, Xerath, and Renekton and establish Valoran’s first large human democracy. In other words, the story of Shurima has almost certainly ended off-screen.

Almost all Shuriman character lore is now seven years out of date. Taliyah, Nasus, Azir, Xerath, and Renekton, along with Sivir and Rammus, are all now seven years older. Who knows what happened to them during the conflict, and whether their stories continue after Taliyah finds her tribe or not, Nasus decides his place in Shurima, Azir triumphs or fails, and Xerath and Renekton triumph or fail? Taliyah and Sivir are not nearly immortal—the two will have significantly aged—and all the characters are now all figures of the past, whose future has already been decided.

Therefore, even poking Shuriman lore in the future could require an update dwarfing the last one it received. The conflict resolution, character growth, and model updates needed to progress almost half a dozen characters and their volatile setting more than half a decade would make Burning Tides look like a splash bio and some bug-fixes.

Can we please get official clarity about whether the above is true, and what that means if it is?
