Ending

Dark Souls 3

Beginnings

The First Flame is dying, the Destined Lord of Cinder Prince Lothric and Lorian rejected their duties . Champion Gundyr set out to rekindled the First Flame but was "greeted by a shrine without fire, and a bell that would not toll." Gundyr "was bested by an unknown warrior. He then became sheath to a coiled sword in the hopes that someday, the first flame would be linked once more."

The shrine was without fire and it's keeper had passed, thus the Queen of Lothric took on the role of Fire Keeper and "when the link of fire is threatened, the bell tolls, unearthing the old Lords of Cinder from their graves." But instead of taking their thrones they returned home. With no legs to walk on and no home to go to, Ludleth the Exiled was dragged to his throne.

With the Lords of Cinder gone, a Unkindled, who has already failed to rekindled the First Flame, will be tasked to gather the Lords of Cinders to rekindled the First Flame.

Common Mythconception

People forgetting the Dark Souls 3 Intro

Where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge, is to tell us that the lands that visited are not from the same time era/line, but are connected to the lords.

From the base game, we saw that Sulyvahn was one of the beings that was exploring the converged land, first finding the Profaned Flame, recruiting the survivors, taking over Irithyll Dungeon, imprisoning Gwyndolin, currying favours with Aldritch and sending knights to stop the linking the flame. This showed that Sulyvahn was active and likely to have lived outside of this cycle, which we found out to be true in the DLC.

Gwynevere is [insert name]

Sadly Gwynevere isn’t anybody in DS3, and she is unlikely to have existing as anything other than an illusion to protect the image of the gods¹ and pass on the Legend of the Chosen Undead.

1. Gwyndolin, all too aware of his repulsive, frail appearance, created the illusion of a sister Gwynevere

Yorshka is Gwyn’s Daughter

Just like Gwynevere, she is a illusion inspired by Priscilla to continue on the legacy of the Darkmoon, while Gwyndolin was slowly being devoured.
