An idea to put Summoners' Rift into the Lore

So, I was watching all of the recent cinematics Riot released (they are beautiful btw :3) and I've been looking at the atmosphere of each location. I realized that runeterra, no matter where u go besides Targon and Demacia, is primarily a rural, spiritualistic place. As I played a game yesterday after watching a few cinematics, I realized that, Runeterra is pretty much perfect. It's so angelic and heavenly, it's so serene outside of everyone fighting each other, I don't think it would be smart to have fight in a worldly place like Valoran. I'm thinking, since Morgana and Kayle are getting reworked, we also create a sort of Nirvana/paradise/heaven in the sky, floating above valoran. It wouldn't be in space of course, but it could be a collection of floating islands like Angel Island from sonic 3. And I was thinking, the actual summoners rift could be the holy battlegrounds, where the angels/saints choose the best of the best to fight in the field. The one inconsistency I would find is how the Jungle Camps, dragon and Baron all inhabit summoners rift as well, and how Ivern communicates as if he knows them, so I don't know what we could be done. Maybe Ivern lives there, and maintains summoner's rift as the gardener lol. But yeah, I love league of legends lore, and I'm just posting an idea of mine I had. Please share ur ideas if u like. :)

Summoner's Rift is already confirmed to be in the lore.

It's located somewhere between Freljord and the Ironspike Mountains.

The battles that take place on it (Aurelion versus Teemo, for example), however, are non-canon.
