@Riot, Xerath and Azir's Lore: Will They Be More Accessible? (This has a point I promise)

Before anyone says "Look at the top of this forum", I know they're there, my question goes further than that.

First let me establish something: I actually like the short stories of Azir and Xerath. If I accept that this is a different iteration of Xerath, a different characterization of him then this is something I've been waiting and wanting for quite some time: Development, a look into the thoughts. I could be nitpicky about the prose, but that's not what the thread's about.

So I'm wondering about where are the short stories of Azir and Xerath going to be located, in this forum? No offense, but that seems fairly silly. There should be a direction link/ability to read these character setting short stories in the character sheets, shouldn't there be? At least a link to redirect readers to the respective thread that hosts the story? Rather than making players hunt for the information, should there not be a way to access these short stories via the character pages in the respective champion's detail page?

Sion's release was great, I thoroughly enjoyed it and what it brought to the table, but how can I access the content through your main website without having to jump through hoops in my attempt to scrounge up the information? Or what of the Freljords and the maps that were provided, or Lissandra's speeches? Should these not be made more accessible rather than forgotten? Sure I can access the Lolwiki, but it's a fan made website, the other day it said Malphite and Taric are enemies for some reason and I wanted to check to make sure they weren't, so I checked on the LoL official website and confirmed they're allies.

Will we have a Lore tab in the future on the main website of League of Legends, detailing the City-States of Demacia, Noxus, Zaun and so forth, will we have a Lore tab that will grant us easier access to possible future stories that will be written? Are you looking into making the lore more visible and therefore more accessible for players/readers?

They're gonna go on their champion pages on the main website once they calm the website down so it isn't being really mean and agitated, as it's been for a bit now. The client will have the short bios and a link to the main character pieces on the main site.

Yeah, I haven't a clue why they never thought/bothered to compile a champ's lore into one place. With the Shurima spiels, it's because of tech issues or something, but there's no reason why everything else not taped to the champ is left in obscure limbo.

They actually plan to do exactly that. The short lores will be in the client and they'll add a link to the full lores on the main page. They actually want to gather multiple pieces of lore on the main page,so that you can access all of them there,the problem is just that there is a technical issue with the main page since it draws its lores from the same source as the client.

With sion they accidently gave us the full lore and then simply left it there since they couldn't solve the tech problem fast enough anyway.
