Well first, the Lords are the four who found the great souls, called Lord Souls.

Second is that her children inherited a fragment of her Life Soul just as humans came from fragments of the Pygmy's Dark Soul and the gods were given fragments from Gwyn's Light Soul, so she and her children were another race, though one witch taught pyromancy to Salaman.

Third is that humans have the now forgotten power of dark sorcery, but the soul sorcery was a creation of Seath, though humans still have souls and can use this art.

Fourth, I have not really found evidence of the Darksign's origin, so you may just be right.
