Ahh, I see. Well the whole reveal at the end of the game is that you link the fire, and Aldias whole deal in SOTFS is that he is working to break the cycle which sets up the story of Dark Souls III which is the most straightforward of all of them. Also I think its generally believed that at least parts of Drangleic are Lordran Its weird and unclear how the geography lines up. Whether or not Old Dragonslayer is actually the real Ornstein is debatable, but it would make sense if hes there as the DS1 version was an illusion and IIRC the real Gwynevere was the founder of Heide.
