I would not be surprised if they just said "yeah she interrogated graves, he told her viego was imprisoned (or something else) for a while and she decided to go fight something else till viego was good to fight again", does nilah nor prefer to fight stroger stuff? so if fighting viego sounded boring she may as well wait
A deal that could be made between volibear and nilah could be along the lines of volibear remembering nilah as a hero challenging the almighty demigod. Having a being as ancient as volibear remember her name would be exactly what nilah would be gunning for.
I have a head-canon that Volibear can exist in both his thunder and eldritch forms depending on who summons him, or who he's receiving the majority of his power/ worship from. Just seems cooler to me that a Freljordian demigod can be warped by what they receive their powers from. It also makes more sense for Voli than someone like Ornn. Voli seems to want power and doesn't care where it comes from, strength is all that matters. But Ornn seems quite comfortable with who he is and if worshippers were to try and mould him into something else, he would probably grumpily decline.
Funnily enough, Ashlash is the one being that could permanently end Volibear (or any of the other Freljordian gods). Since they gain strength from worship, that is also their weakness, and if Ashlash erased Volibear's names/existence from history, no one would remember him nor worship him, and Volibear would simply weaken more and more until he disappears.
I thought that Nilah already knew where Viego was when she interrogated Graves. In the short story she mentions "the little present they left on her shores. Viego of Camavor.". She asks him about where she can find the Sentinels that defeated Viego, not where to find him.
I don't see the issue with Nilah's story. She crossed the world to fight the Ruined King only to be told that he got defanged and sealed away back where she just came from, and that if he ever breaks out he's probably coming back to Valoran for revenge. Why would she 180 and go back home when she could stick around and fight the monters of these regions, making a name for herself in this part of the world as well.
Some observations: In the Nilah short story, she goes to bilgewater to discover why the sentinels of light inprision viego in alovedra. And about the Volibear, this Voli is just an avatar he use to walk in the mortal realm. In the short story he states to udyr that he will be reborn. So, in the legends of runeterra the volibear that Nilah is fighting is the reborn form.
I think the Valhir Prophet could also be a former follower of Anivia because of her headpiece, much like the Flamecaller Caprine was a former Ornn follower
SO I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE?? I'm not the only one frustrated at LoR writing Runeterra Fanfiction, and reducing Volibear into just a big monster for Nilah to fight, and breaking the thematic cycle set by the other demigods?? I thought I was going actually insane
I think she’s going to the shadow isles to find vex because she worked for Viego, she can take bandle city and shadow isles as regions, leaving the last two regions available since we know we’re only getting three champs for the end of the year, and there was a leaked deathless keyword that could apply to Karthas but i think could also apply to her
Your theory about flamecaller being hearthblood has another thing supporting it which you didn't mention, that being that she literally has ornn-like horns with his colors and shape, just smaller.
the thing about volibear gaining power from worshippers is confusing though, the demigods existed before the mortals apparently and they were already mighty and powerful, I mean Volibear defeated a mountain-sized lava snake before any mortals stepped on the freljord?
Nilah going to the shadowisles is great, because the only chmapion left in si thats not already a lor champ is Yorick so we might finally get some Yorick lore. Maybe he tells Nilah where Viego is and what happend during the Ruination. (And maybe where he was during it)
To be frank, I care little for what is canon and what is not at this point. Even if they confirm that not a single thing in LoR is canon, it is still the best place to get a feel of Runeterra, as in this game the character actually DO stuff.

I want a game like Hades but trying to escape the void.

The fight must have been un-bearable

Nilah is like a badger, she picks fights that she can't win and always manages to survive and makes her foes remember her.

Do NOT face Volibear alone when Astral projecting.
I mean, considering the Earth is round, her journey wasn't really that long
