Ted, your argument leaves out three important things:

One of the kingdoms that came before Drangleic was Olaphis, Straid's own kingdom. Alken was another, and that one is much more recent (it fell some time after the Old Iron King took over Venn).

Straid knows the Witch of Izalith as more than just an old legend, implying he was alive before the Bed of Chaos was created (Olaphis very easily could have fallen during the period of time between Gwyn linking the fire and the events of AotA and DS1).

He mentions that this land (either the Bastille or Drangleic as a whole) was where undead from other lands were sent to be imprisoned. Drangleic, or the Lost Bastille at the very least, is where the Undead Asylum once stood, and Straid was alive when that trend started.
