Is Syndra even Ionian anymore?

There have been a excessive amount of times where Syndra could have had extended lore with the numerous number of ionian champions and updates released lately, however not a single one ever acknowledged or included Syndra. As a syndra main and a lore fanatic I find it very confusing how many champions are having their lores extended except her. Is she even Ionian anymore? Now that Irelia and Akali reworks rolled out and neither interacted with her I feel like shes been completely neglected. Why make a character with a story and not even try to keep up with it? Unless theres plans to make her a darkin or just runeterran, because at this point in the lore universe it's going to be hard to just stuff extra lore now that so many ionian champions interactions have been mended (now its karma v irelia v akali...syndra? Unknown.) Any one else know champions with no relevant lore? I can think of zliean and volibear and lulu so far.

There have not been opportunities to relate her to other champions.

Karma hasn't been incorporated into the lore of anyone else, and neither her nor Syndra has anything to do with the ninjas. They're entirely separate.

Once they expand upon Karma, I'm sure they'll do Syndra as well.

Syndra had a story accidentally posted (and removed!) within the past few days. Expect news very soon.

Lol, Syndra is getting a lore update alongside Akali, earlier yesterday her color story was (seemingly accidentally, as it's now been removed) posted in universe. https://www.reddit.com/r/syndramains/comments/8zpvyx/the_dreaming_cave_short_story_text_for_those_that/

A guy managed to copy paste it so here for those that missed it. It may have some alterations when it's officially posted

Karma is still probably Ionian. Riot just has not had reasons to update her. Putting her in the Noxian Invasion story (Irelia, Karma, Riven, Yasuo) might of come across as forced As she is not a good guy nor has ever been grey. Given her old lore and presentation the only reason she would have to crack Noxian skulls at the moment would be if they tried to march on her floating palace. She also has no connection to the Kinkou Order and thus not much business with the Ninjas outside of the fans shipping her with Zed.

Its perfectly normal for a champ to not get a lore update with the rest of their faction,that really happens all the time. The first Bilgewater update didn't give us lores for TahmKench Fizz Nautilus The first shadow isles update didn't update Evelynn Elise Yorick Maokai The Piltover update left out Heimerdinger and Ziggs (who at that point was still a piltover champ) The Zaun update left out Singed and Twitch The Demacia update didn't give us new lores for Sona and XinZhao

And now that we get more smaller updates this year this is even more noticeable. The noxus update didn't give us new lores for Cassiopeia Draven Vladimir Talon Sion (also we didn't get anything for Riven,but she was covered in the ionia event) The void update left out all the voidborn Chogath KogMaw Khazix Velkoz RekSai And the ionia update didn't just leave out Syndra,but also Zed Kennen MasterYi Soraka and obviously Akali

So Syndra not having received a new lore so far is nothing outstanding.
