You raise good points, but I cannot see how you came to your conclusion.

It's running under the assumption that popular places must be referenced for a lore to be sufficient. Furthermore, there is an implication that it must be well known already and grounded in Runeterra history.

I am fairly certain that the Noxian invasion upon Ionia is a well grounded historical event. Even the Gelid Vortex of the Freljord is the blizzard that serves as the purpose of the Winter's Claw brutish nature. Both are the first two chapters of Nine's lore.

Another champion with mysterious origins is, who already received an updated lore. Since Nine's present purpose parallels, it also makes sense that she too has a mysterious alienated beginning who interacts with the important parts of the world today.

I believe that the level of detail is good for a novel-length-lore. Chopping down length to a short story would require excessive revisions to an okay novel (so long as those dialogues are less tedious), potentially gutting her roundness through loss of detail. A large percentage of the story is detail, so this is impossible to avoid.

Even so, I do agree with other solutions like increased white space by splitting paragraphs as lengthy paragraphs are indeed a serious issue. Having shorter paragraphs, even with more pages, makes it easier to create stopping points to rest and revisit the novel.
 * The blank space serves as a break in the pattern of text to remember visually when coming back to read, a mental bookmark. And yes, the fact it is on a digital medium certainly does make long paragraphs less tolerable than on paper.
