A lot of people in dark souls I and II mention where they are from, describing it as "it is a great place" and not "it *was* a great place."

People go to Drangleic, if I recall correctly, in hopes of breaking the curse. So, my question is, are there normal places outside of Dragnleic? Are there places in the world of Dark Souls where there are no hallows, or at least, where civilizaiton is still somewhat normal (more normal than Majula), or is the whole world doomed to face the same fate and existence as Drangleic?

I didn't beat the first game, but I don't intend to, so lay any spoilers on me *about the first game*. I did NOT beat the second one, so do not lay any spoilers from it on me.
